Since we're talking about something to replace the Fiesta, I'm only considering cars in a similar size/form factor. I'd love to have an F-150 Raptor, or a Boss Mustang, but in reality, I wouldn't want to use either as a daily driver.
With that in mind, I have a few options. I'd have to drive/compare them, but either the Fiesta ST (pending production), the Focus ST, or the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. The thing I like most about the Subie is AWD. However, I think small cars like the Fiesta are a blast to drive. I would absolutely love my Fiesta with the FRPP lowering kit, 17" rims with some nice Z-rated all-seasons, and an extra 40+ HP/TQ. Oh, and maybe a 6-spd transmission so the final drive ratio actually puts the RPM's under 3 grand on the highway...lol.

Realistically I was considering trading in my fiesta when the focus ST came out but I've since convinced myself otherwise due to the size difference. I like how small and nimble my little fiesta is and I would only trade it for something the same size but a little bit sportier. Possibly trade for the fiesta ST if it ever comes stateside

In dream world, I would trade my Fiesta for a Veyron, then sell it and buy the following;
1996 Integra Type R racecar 1995 Cobra R 1991 NSX Lotus Exige SVT Raptor for snowy days 2012 Boss 302 Focus ST-R Fiesta R2 2000 Focus WRC by MSport in tarmac trim E36 M3 coupe That should equal about the amount for a Veyron. In reality, I don't know what I would trade my Fiesta for. Almost every car made today is too big, most lack a manual gearbox, and few are suitable for a daily driver in the snowbelt. I guess I would rather keep my Fiesta, swap over the EU transmission, front bumper, headlamps, hood, and find somebody who could finally add an on/off switch for the TC and ESC. That would fix the only things I don't like about my car, and there isn't much else on the road that offers the driving dynamics, small size, and has a row your own box of cogs. A white Fiat 500 Abarth essess could change my mind.
