Ford to offer Fiesta Freedom for technology buffs
Ford's UK subsidiary has unveiled their newest special edition, dubbed the Fiesta Freedom. Geared towards technophiles, the model includes £800 ($1,400 USD) of packaged extras, including Bluetooth connectivity and voice-control stereo. Available in a variety of bodystyles and specifications, the Freedom also includes bespoke 15" alloys, body colored trim, fog lamps, and special badging.
Buyers will be entitled to a special deal with mobile provider Vodaphone, giving them a deal on a G3 Nokia N70 handheld, along with a Tom Tom Mobile 5 sat-nav unit that works with the phone whether in the car or not.
Priced from £8,845 ($15.4k USD), just 2,500 examples will be on offer in Britain beginning next month.

This is why Ford is floundering in the US - they keep their best designs away from their own countrymen. And that car is far from ugly...that is a sharp hatchback! GM made the same mistake with the Chevy Cobalt...not offering the hatchback body from the Opel Astra on which it's based. The only thing they have in the subcompact hatch department is the mediocre Aveo made by Daewoo...good job Detroit. If Ford would bring that darn Fiesta over here (and NOT screw up the quality!) it would sell.

Looks sharp, I'd definately be interested, My father had a 77 fiesta, it was quite a car for its size, I just hate that ford doesn't offer this to the USA, I need a cheap to maintain techno gizmo second vehicle

I brought one of these (1.25l 3dr in black with climate pack), and its amazing. Nothing like the old fiesta's, excellent (imo) to drive.
