The Fiesta is NOT Coming to America!

If ever there was a car made for the times and the going green trend, this would seem to be it: the new Ford Fiesta. This humble little car can fit a small famile and get excellent fuel economy. This car is a wonderful piece of engineering, but Americans can’t buy one.

Despite the Fiesta ECOnetic’s definite potential to compete with the other US manufactures, Ford will only sell the Fiesta in Europe. The only reason the President of Ford gave for not selling this car in America is tha it would be too pricey to import.

Ford is aprehensive about selling the car here in America, due to the public’s negative view on diesel fuel. Diesel cars have the nasty stigma of being smelly, smog emitting cars to the general US public.

Diesel cars that are on the market today emit less pollution and get better fuel economy that regular gas powered cars. Any 65 MPG car would be good for America? Ford feels like the America’s will not buy diesel cars. For some reason Ford thinks that the Fiesta would not be very viable here state-side even though it does well when compared to European diesels. 

Also, the Fiesta is made in England and bringing the car to America would be so costly that Ford believes thay would not make a profit.  With that said, the main question is: will the US ever embrace diesel fuel to allow automakers and manufactures to achieve sufficient scale to make money on those vehicles?Volkswagen has been selling diesel cars in American for quite some time now.If the Fiesta were to come to America, it would cost about as much as the Jetta TDi, get much better gas mileage, and become an acclaimed clean car.Ford could be sharing the lime light with the Jetta TDi, but they are not.
