    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.

    • This was the background music for a YouTube. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IuYsaw0qX9Y&desc_update=1&si=MkQYwojnMwVs6WkN It's in French.  It's listed as Afro-Soul. I could NOT see this as relevant on yesteryear's "Soul Train."  I'm picking up Brazilian vibes, which I definitely like.
    • Very interesting, watched the first 20 min and jumped through out the rest, but interesting and clearly some viewpoints that can clearly be debated on both sides due to a lack of education imho. Those that believe health or life circumstances changed due to their god is an interesting take same as the crazy statements from some of the atheist. Some are far to much down the rabbit hole that we are still so closely linked to primates.  One thing that does stand out, there are many people on both sides that have been abused in their past lives and so they found comfort in their own way to survive.
