Why is it that Ford, an American automaker, keeps the Yankees away from all the best sporty Fords?
There are Ford sport compact cars for the European market, such as this 2009 Ford Fiesta ST500. There are killer sport sedans the Aussies get, such as the FPV Falcon GT. We have the Mustang. Though Ford has confirmed it is bringing a sub-Focus compact, fuel efficient Ford model to the United States, it may or may not be the Fiesta.
Ford has not had an affordable performance compact car since the SVT Focus disappeared in 2004.
Looking at the specs on this killer little 2009 Ford Fiesta ST500 pocket rocket, Ford of Europe has something going for them. The Fiesta ST500 has enough power and weight-saving technology to blow the doors off many US-market sport compact cars.
We can only hope that Ford USA will come to its senses and bring their best cars back to the land where it all got started.
