    Spying: Ford Fiesta

    The sub-compact market is heating up with vehicles like the Chevrolet Sonic, Kia Rio, and Hyundai Accent providing tough competition. One of the vehicles who kicked off the return of sub-compact vehicles, the Ford Fiesta, is getting a refresh.

    Car & Driver got their hands on some spy shots of a Ford Fiesta hatchback and sedan undergoing some testing.

    The Fiesta will take on some Ford's design cues seen on the Taurus and new Fusion. The front end will get an Aston Martin-esk grill layout and new headlights. Around the back, the sedan new taillights and a reshaped trunklid that brings it in line with the Focus. As the hatchback, changes are unknown for the time being.

    Also, expect Ford's new 1.0L three-cylinder EcoBoost engine to possibly replace the current 1.6L four-cylinder.

    Expect to see the refreshed Fiesta make an appearance later this year or sometime next year.

      I've taken the Boeing assembly tour as an adult and, when I was a kid in scouting, United Airlines gave us a tour. There are 3 tours that I would really like to take to see how the processes work since I could probably understand them better today: 1) the USPS processing and distribution system 2) the waste collection system 3) the recycling system

      Recycling can be aggravating in some places.  I am very far from being a tree hugger, but I'm a big believer in recycling.  When you're in a red state and/or an area where they just don't care, you may not even find the bins for it.  Sometimes I find that I keep my recyclable things in the car until I find some bins.  I couldn't believe how many rest areas in Florida do not have recycling bins, so the junk accumulates in my rental car.  Then, I've been at libraries where they have the separate bins and watched the janitor pick up the trash ... only to watch him just throw all the recyclable stuff in with the regular trash.
