Interesting, even though this seems to be for the Euro-spec models, wonder how it's going to affect the North American models in the future.

Looks like they're hiding the bumper with that plastic, interesting.

Interesting. The headlights stick out the most. That would make sense as well, the fiesta and st version sharing the same headlight shape for the same model year.

I am sure the updated nose will fall in line with the new corporate grille, which debuted on the Fusion. The ST's have a similiar nose, the Taurus is getting the new nose, and the Fiesta will also have it.

Yeah, I bet the facelift will be similar to the ST but I'm not sure how much info we're really getting from that photo.

<3 Dragon Eye Headlamps. That's the change I am most displeased with. I like our current grill, but at least the new one isn't as bad as the Mazdas!

The headlights will be mostly the same I think, they'll just be cutting off a chunk of the inside portion. The distinctive "dragon's eye" aspect should remain - I imagine they'll be the same shape as the ST concept's, as 70sstrat noted:



Also found this speculative image of what the facelift could look like:



If it's similar to that - and it should be - then I'm not worried, because that looks damn good. This will also be a chance to bring the US and EU spec Fiestas together completely, similar to how the US-spec Mazda2 became the facelifted model elsewhere.

I agree they look good, but not as good. I am partial though. (:

after seeing an EU bumper this weekend, I wish the US facelift was to stick that on the car. So perfect in every way.
