Fiesta Monster edition

[archiller]

Do you guys know about it and/or have this in the US?

Here it is on the Swiss Ford site:
Fiesta Monster Edition

I drove it and I honestly can say that I noticed no difference with the power even though it states 134 hp. The saleman said the only difference is that the power programming is different. The center console is very different with the Sony in dash display, there's a plaque for the car saying Monster Edition with your car's number and unique interior...

What exactly is the difference with the ECU?
(hope this isnt a repost I searched around)

Looks kinda cool, though I'm not really into doing free advertising on my car.

when i was looking at the fiesta i said to myself if i buy the car im taking the 'M''s off. The green lining is a nice touch.

Did not know. Do not have. Agree with Bondi; no free advertising on my car (except for FF.com)

So for about USD$30k, what do you get more than the standard 1.6L Zetec?

In my opinion, someone needs to be slapped directly in the face if they spend $30k on a Fiesta. That's just asinine. Hell, I think low $20's is stupid high.

30k is likely what the ST is going to sell for here... And I'd fly you in to slap me if I buy one for that...

Considering the higher overall price of cars there to begin with, you do get a lot for $30k... like an electrically headed windshield, automatic climate control, projector headlamps, Sony audio system, more horsepower, better wheels, etc.

Basically, paying US$32k for a European is like us paying about US$25k for a similarly equipped car.

Sounds like the swiss version of Europe's Fiesta Metal - Ford Fiesta gets a hot metal special edition / http://www.ford.co.uk/Hidden/Compare...=1204991201666

You do realize that their titanium which I think is closer to our SE/SES starts at almost 24k USD right?
