Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta sedan caught in The D
It shouldn't be entirely uncommon to run across a Ford Fiesta here in the United States now that the Blue Oval has handed the keys to a hundred of 'em to various "agents" all across the country as part of its Fiesta Movement program. What is unusual, though, is seeing a Fiesta sedan, but that's exactly what Domino Vitali, a spy shooter for our friends at WebRidesTV Blog, managed to snap a few shots of just north of the Motor City in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.Though the Ford Fiesta Sedan is already available in China, the American version of the car will differ slightly to conform with U.S. regulations. We'll likely get revised fascias front and rear along with bumpers that offer a smidgen more protection in low-speed impacts. Fortunately for those of us who prefer the utmost in practicality, FoMoCo is also expected to send the hatchback (in both three- and five-door configurations) to America in addition to this new sedan when the Fiesta finally goes on sale as a 2011 model.

Those black camo marks against the white car look like frogs humping.

Ford Fiesta sedan, isn`t that an oxymoron?

Is it just me, or are those tires WAY too small for that car?

They look silly, but they're probably slave wheels/tyres for testing purposes.

YES, THERE WILL BE ALSO HATCH IN THE US!

Jeremy, are you sure we're getting the 3-door hatch in the U.S.? I thought we were only getting the 5-door hatch and the 4-door sedan.

We're supposed to get the 3-door. At least that's what the reports have been saying.
Plus, the 3-doors are the only hatch mules I see running around.

nothing is confirmed except the sedan

I was wondering this myself. Ford's website for the US Fiesta only shows the sedan and 5-door. I'd much rather hold out for a 3-door.

I did a test drive at a Fiesta Movement event recently, and they confirmed both a sedan and 5-door but did not confirm a 3-door. They also (surprisingly) told me that there would be an EcoBoost version at launch, which I hadn't heard anywhere else.

I have seen Fiesta sedan mules running around for a while now. Man, only if I had a camera on my while I was out working or driving around. You guys would have had these pictures a while back.

It still manages to look decent (i.e. not frumpy) for a subcompact sedan, but for a Fiesta, the hatch looks WAY better.

This is why we can't have nice things. You can just imagine the conversation:
Management: "Hey, nice work on the new Fiesta - it's a great little hatchback and the design really flows well"
Design Team: "Thanks"
Management: "Now tack on a trunk to it for the Americans and the Chinese"
Design Team: "WTF!?"

Nice.
Unfortunately, that's about how it goes for many models. You might as well add "Don't forget to swap out that diesel for a gasser, preferably high in horse power".
