    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 can't stand gray or black trim or wall paint inside (or outside) a house... gray has been trendy for at least a decade, and black has been getting more popular in recent years.     Yeeech.. 
    • For sure lease these EV's.  Depreciation is usually steep and can be unpredictable.  Take the lease deals and if it doesn't depreciate at ton, buy at at out the end, and if it does tank in value, walk away.
    • Random thought: I cannot stand kitchen or bathroom millwork painted in battleship gray or "distressed" nautical blue
    • Ever since Rush announced that they have found their new drummer, Anika Niles, and have announced that they will start touring againwith their new drummer, I found myself immersed in Rush songs.  And...I cannot even escape Rush even when I am not listening to them on my own as I watch hockey or even the World Series and in the background either the stadium's DJ or the arena's DJ or the TV channel itself, will play Tom Sawyer or Limelight.  Even Spirit of the Radio.  I'll listen to many of Rush's songs from the 70s and 80s on youtube.  But I have been playing Limelight more than the others.   I have to apologize to Rush fans everywhere. To Rush and Geddy Lee himself.   I was too immature to fully appreciate Geddy Lee's singing.  I always LOVED Rush's sound. Their music. Their instrument playing and mixing and all that they do is just extraordinary. 3 awesome talented musicians and their sound is just soooo powerful. Just 3 of them.   3.    I always respected that aspect but I never liked Geddy Lee's voice. I always thought he sounded awful. Until now... He does sing great. I just now...realized how great he is.  He has a certain tone to his voice that I never "got" and I mistakenly judged him for it.  I always knew that Rush's music would not be the same if not for Geddy's unique voice but I didnt like it and that made me not like Rush.  Again...until now.  I have turned the corner with Rush and now I could say that I am a fan.    Canuck Rock Rules!!!
