Default The Americanization of the 2011 Fiesta

While trying to find another video, I came across this one that might explain to some of you why we have the Fiesta the way that it is

This is the best Fiesta video I ever saw. It's not a hard sell but a factual description of what the Fiesta is all about. Everything they say about it I can attest to as a one year driver of this car.

Good video, as a european fiesta owner its quite interesting to hear about why changes were made and how they worked around different laws and safety ratings etc.
The fiesta is one special product.

Think I'll post a link to this video on a British fiesta forum I'm on if that's okay, a few people have asked in the past why the fog lights were changed etc

Finally !!! A REAL video for people that know things about cars!

Not just the typical cars.com, the bumper is different in the USA vs Europe.

I Hear a LOT of talk about "federal Law..."

I'm glad they changed it this way and didn't just slap on some of those rubber battering rams like they used to! I wonder if they could've met the crash regs with different materials instead of dimensional changes... Probably, but for price point retention, bigger bumper is better...
