2012 New Fiesta is dead even if its priced less than Ecosport it wont sell, because the interior looks more dull than even a Maruti Suzuki Swift, and the rear armrest is like a road side cobbler was paid to attach the armrest onto the back seat, my high profile thinking(just kidding)tells me Ford India was desperate to change Michael Boneham from the MD post but since it couldnt be done so easily the working management might have made a big sacrifice by making a true flop car in Bonehams responsibility, this mighty flop news might have reached Ford south Asia Pacific manager and they could have decided its high time Boneham should be quitting the MD post.
The 2014 Ford Fiesta released all over Europe and China South Africa etc is making such high waves that its crossed 1 lakh bookings just in UK only and America a country where small cars are least sold is now starting to consider Fiesta for its features and built and virtues, its told that by 2016 Fiesta will replace all Mini Coopers in USA, In South Africa the Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost hatchback is considered as the hot hatch family car,
If Ford bring the 2014 Ford Fiesta in price range of the 2012 Fiesta not the newly updated one itself it will be success, nowhere near as Vento or Verna or City, maybe in league of Sunny, because lack of rear legroom is inevitable.
