Ford Dropping the Fiesta for North America

[kimona]

^^^ Well, that's news indeed!

The Fiesta HB is a neat little car with much better than decent design and great features. Nevertheless, it's a POS. But, that's another conversation.

Yes, is this the beginning of the end for some small cars in America?

Too bad, but Americans have never been enamored with small cars, especially hatchbacks.

Lower gasoline prices don't help sales of small cars, and adult obesity rates at about 1/3 (and still growing) don't help either.

We can only hope the Yaris is around for a long time.

The amount of times I've seen an adult in a subcompact beside me at a stop light and I am actually seeing them through the back seat window instead of the drivers window... ain't no room for the belly in a subcompact!
