VIDEO: It takes two Fiestas to tango

Click above to watch video after the jump
We're really excited for the new Ford Fiesta to hit U.S. shores, but unfortunately we have almost two more years to wait. Our friends overseas don't have to wait at all, though, so marketing for the attractive sub-compact has already started in the UK. One such publicity stunt involved a pair of three-door Fiestas that tore up the dance floor recently near the Tower of London at the Tango at the Tower event while a 20-piece orchestra jammed the classic tune. That's right – cars doing the tango. Hit the jump to view the well-choreographed video of the two Fiestas going toe to toe in the rain. We're tempted to quip that these Fiestas have better moves than Kim Kardashian, but we have no desire to admit watching Dancing with the Stars.

Nicely done and actually entertaining, but how is this beneficial to my life, and most of all - selling a Hatchback?

I agree with Torrent, except that it's not a feature/benefit ad, the kind that would appeal to yr rational side, telling "...how is this beneficial to my life."
It's an image ad that shows the fun side of Ford, something that's sorely lacking in the U.S. Despite what a lot of people say, image is a part of their decision in buying a car, and a lot of U.S. buyers won't even look at a Ford because of their perception as an "old" company that only makes trucks. The Fiesta may just get them back on the long road to being desirable again.

I'll take the Saab Performance Team over that any day. And their
tracks aren't wetted down to decrease grip:

Oh, I get it. The cars are supposed to be dancing. Did Ford pay someone money to develop this?
