As it is its nothing to get too excited about unless aftermarket picks up the pieces like they did with the NA focus. If it was at least the same engine we could start thinking dirty toughts.
Not quite hardk0re.
The Fiesta is a different chassis than the Focus altogether being in the "B" segment (IE: The tiny little runabouts) versus the Focus which in Europe is on the "C" class chassis (IE: The not quite as tiny cars)
If they ever turbo'ed that little thing dear god would they have a pocket rocket on their hands, but I think we'd geta diesel before that IMO.
The one things I'm really surprised at is that ATM they don't even offer an upgrade to the stock stereo. If they're marketing the thing to young people as a first car, you'd think that they would offer a little more "boom" for that tiny room

I haven't seen any reviews yet with the DSG autobox and I'll be curious to see how the car performs with one (Not that I would buy a car that small myself, I go to the chiropractor enough as it is...
