Next generation Ford Fiesta subcompact, due in late 2008 for Europe, is set to go on sale in America a year later and will arrive essentially unchanged from the European model, according to Ford officials.
The U.S. Fiesta project was confirmed by Ford prior to March's Geneva Motor Show. The struggling automaker's desperate need for a fuel-efficient subcompact (B-segment in Europe) clearly factored into the decision to bring the vehicle stateside.
