Would you?

Sure why not. Of course I would never actually BUY the sedan version but if you got a FREE no obligation ride for 6 mos it's a great deal!

Provided I didn't have to over blog my entire experience and join so many social networks I'm keen with it.

What if Ford extended the Fiesta Movement by another 6 months ...

... letting you drive a preproduction US version of the Fiesta ...

... sedan! Would you do it?

Of course I would. Why do you bring this up? Do you know something the rest of us don't?

I probably would not as I have no interest in driving a sedan. I have my SVT Focus hatchback to drive until next spring when I will take delivery of my white Fiesta hatchback.

Yeah, what nonsense. Ford should just give out free cars and not ask for anything in return. I mean, they aren't a business or anything and the concept of ROI clearly doesn't apply to them.

I have a 120 mile commute roughly two to three days a week. It would be perfect for testing a Fiesta since I would be doing highway, interstate and city streets. Just call in to the white lab coats on a weekly basis and report to them whats what and how everything is. Give Sam my 2 cents along with it and how well the testing goes. Any problems happen I have like four Ford Dealerships within 30 miles of me two within 15.

I too have a reasonable commute two days a week. I can promise Ford that I would be UNYIELDING in my honest obbservations about the Fiesta. There is no better medicine for Ford than brute honesty from a potential buyer.

I'd apply for a stint in the NA sedan as part of any potential movement, part 2. Having said that, I'm sure I would not be what Ford would want in an agent given my situation and lack of social media exposure. Regardless, my wife strongly favors sedans over hatchbacks so at least I could try to see if the sedan's looks could grow on me during a long term stay. I cannot see myself giving the sedan a whole lot of consideration once both are on dealer lots since I've always been a small hatch guy (even if I like pickups and play devil's advocate for SUVs as well ). Of course, if there were a sedan around, she may change from supporting my choosing of the car I want to compromising to the sedan version. I'm just hoping the Fiesta remains at the top of my list for the next 18 months or so. The next Focus and potentially even a Mazda could compete since they are rumored to be considering adding diesel options for the US.

Despite my interest in purchasing a blue hatchback when the real version comes out, I would love to do the fiesta movement with a sedan. I hope the fact that I almost was selected last time for fiesta movement gives me an advantage to get one this time.

Seriously Marc, spill the beans, how probable is it that this could happen?

I have no idea -- it just occurred to me that when the US Fiesta is revealed and the agents have to surrender their cars, it will be another 6 months before the car is finally for sale.

The rumor mill says that there will be something happening, but not even the agents have anything resembling details yet.

I would LOVE to be involved, but I am grateful for what I have had so far, and wouldn't hold a grudge if things didn't work out that way. Sure would be bummed though!

I will take a second 6-month stint in my hatch! I love that car and don't want to give it back. I just hope I love the US version as much as the EU one. Chances are looking like I will.

I honestly wouldn't mind having a 6 Month Stint as a tester for the Sedan since I have a great commute to work.
