The new Fiesta will be produced in Mexico and will be sold to the entire South American market. Ford has made its obvious decision official in the presence of Alan Mulally, Ford CEO, and the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón Hinojosa.
While the production of the new car in Mexico was just an official announcement of a known news, the fact that the hatchback version of the car will also be sold in the USA, is something that we didn't know earier. While the hatch version will offer some competition to the Mini, the decision was made as the hatch body style is popular in Brazil and Mexico, and it wouldn't cost Ford anything extra to offer the car in the US as well.
The sedan version of the car is inspired by the Verve concept shown at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show.
