No Fiestas?!?!

I just drove 810 miles from Charlotte, NC, to Little Rock, AR, and didn't see one single Fiesta! I was looking for 'em the whole time. Weird. Saw a ton of Foci and Tauruses, though.

A "ton" of foci would equate to about 1.5 cars. And of Tauruses, about 1/2 of one.

I knew that was coming.

I bet I saw 80 tons of Tauruses and well over 155.987463 tons of Foci.

Come on down to Florida, there's tons (non-literal) of them here.

I've only seen one other Fiesta driving around Little Rock. A gray one. I waved at the dude but he acted freaked out that I did. Some people.

I expected to see at least ONE driving all those miles, though.

There's a family right down the road from me with a lime hatch. I've waved at least six times and they either ignore me or just stare. I did however have a woman at the post office stop me and ask a few questions. Two weeks later I saw her in a silver SES hatch.

I love the new Taurus.

The amount of Fiestas I see has really dropped off.

I just spent a week up in Portland and I saw a ton of Fiestas, Fits and 500s. Given how bad the traffic is there, I was really happy to see more small cars and less huge trucks and SUVs.

Well you can give me grief over my poor calculation of Foci. Should have been 2/3's of a Focus.

I would guess around here, I'm seeing way more Foci than Fiestas too.

I also don't see a lot of Fiestas in this area. The dealer tells me he's been having problems getting them.

Part of my problem may be that all the small cars today conform to the same aerodynamic rules in order to deliver on competitive mileage. Therefore in silhoutte, they all look the same. I've waved at Fits and others only to see the badging too late.

Now, a lime green Fiesta one does NOT miss!!!

Happy New Year to all.
