There's a lot of car talk between my mother and I, and yesterday the B-Segment in general came up. She mentioned that the only thing she was worried about was the connotation with the old Fiesta, and that the only mistake she thinks they made was deciding to keep the Fiesta name. (Mind you all, this is the same woman who cringed at the thought of Saturn selling rebadged Opel's)
It's odd, because I think a lot of modern car people (especially small Ford enthusiasts) have this special place in their heart for the early Fiesta's that just doesn't exist in most 40+ year old non-car people's hearts. It kind of begs the question:
Despite younger buyers and car-folks/Ford Fans being stoked about the Fiesta, does anyone think the Fiesta (despite the Euro rep and high quality) might be a hard sell to some of the more "experienced" IJAC (it's just a car) people than a new car with a new name? (For instance, the Honda Fit has no connotations, whereas the Fiesta has that "Old Cheapo" connotation)
Thoughts?
