Fiesta name stays

Ford is retaining the name of its small car Fiesta in the new generation version which will get its public debut at Geneva in a couple of weeks' time.

The new vehicle range will introduce several Ford firsts for a small car, including –- from later in 2008 –- another model in the new Ford ECOnetic range promising CO2 emissions of fewer than 100 grams per kilometre.

New Fiesta retains its predecessor's compact size, but is lighter and stronger. It also has an enhanced Intelligent Protection System which includes a new driver's knee airbag. It features Electric Power Assisted Steering (E-PAS) and reduced road, wind and powertrain noise.

The new Fiesta stands on virtually the same footprint as before. The new-generation Fiesta is actually lighter than its predecessor.
