2013 Fiesta gets the Aston Martin grill treatment



Not sure if I like it better than the outgoing model. Doesn't work as well as it does on the new Fusion, but not bad.

Is that for all 2013s, or just the EV? Just watched the review on Autoweek, stacked up well against the Leaf.

i believe that is the look going forward for all the new ford models. i remember reading an article earlier this week that the new Mustang is expected to have similar styling

Those were the days when Starbuck was a character in a TV series about space, not some large corporate coffee shop.

Not sure I like the new Ford snout...

I like it much more than Toyota's new trademark pinched-nostril snout.
