Detailed review of US spec Fiesta from the NAIAS

Good comparison photos there Marc. I would hope this will end the "rear fog" debate.

That looks like Red Candy Metallic Tinted CC. The same color comes on the 2010 Mustang, Flex, and Taurus. It is an optional color that will cost around $195 more. The Yellow is about $395 more.

Anybody get a call from the Fiesta reservation team to tell you to go order your car yet?

I called my agent "Megan" the other day to go over my reservation. I drilled her for more info, but not much was given. I know the order bank does open in about a week or so. So when it does open I will get everyone prices for configurations they want.

Remember this. I want to sell you a Fiesta! Well not me personally, but Team Ford. If there is a way of getting you here to purchase, let me know. My goal is to be the #1 dealer in the Nation!!!

I've gotta say I disagree with this. I know the lighting was odd at the NAIAS, but this photo looks much different. There is none of the metallic variation going on that the Red Candy painted sedan in Detroit had. To me, the non-metallic is a better choice.

Certainly possible. Maybe the great white north will get a different color.

Rear Fog lights sure comes in handy in a snow blizzard, its like having Rudolph the red nose reindeer onboard

Some of the pics that are showing up from the many auto shows around the USA and the different lighting inside the venues sure does give different effects on the paint colours. I think it was some I'd seend from the Philly show and the St.Louis had some of the best lighting for judging the paint colours. The NAIAS lighting is much to bright for decent pics.

Agree that the rear fog is very useful in heavy snow, and to warn Toyota drivers that there is a car in front of them when theirs goes out of control.

I can tell you that lighting makes a huge difference in the Hot Magenta. Cloudy days it looks dark red, sunny days its brighter shade of darker red with a hint of purple. In some parking garages it looks anything from really dark red to purple. Lighting changes that color a ton! Also the type of camera makes a difference.

Nice being in sunny Southern California, even though it rained more this past January than all of 09.
