Notice the blacked out projector headlights. I think Ford is just testing the EcoBoost at this stage, as there is be smaller EcoBoost engines eventually too, but that's not to say there isn't an ST version in the works. I'm willing to bet 2011 will be a good year. A refreshed Fiesta, an ST, a smaller 1.2L (or similar) engine with EcoBoost and convertible Fiesta.
In fact look at it more closely, it could just be a special import by a customer who's done some majority awesome changes to the car himself. Just a suggestion. It seems too dressed up to be a mule of any kind.

YAY! this is worthy of expanding the Fiesta range.
No gay gimmicks slapped on this baby. ![]() ![]() Although the only thing that would kill it would be the price. Would have to look at GTI VW's as respective competition.

It will all come down to price, if the fiesta's price is with in cooeee of the GTI Golf then I would much rather the VW
But lets all wait to see more pics and confirmed / reliable info before coming to any conclusions

Isnt a Golf GTI currently around $40-45k?
That means the Ecoboost would have to be 20k more expensive than the Zetec. |

Would be aimed squarely at the Polo GTI's teeth I reckon. If they can keep it under $30,000 it would be awesome.

The new VW Polo GTI is expected to start at $32,000 plus onroads, so the ST would be about $29,990 plus onroads I recon. Funny thing is I really doubt this is a Ford prototype, more like a dressed up customers car. More than likley they are mad Ford fans and wanted a 3-Door, so they imported one. All the bits on the car are accessories that are currently availible, all bar the turbo charged bits. An ST won't look anything like this anyway, so waiting on 2011 to see the real deal.

Yes!! I just saw this news this morning. Very exciting indeed! The new Polo GTI will only be available in auto, so that will put a lot of manual drivers off, including me. I am really hoping we will get it in Australia! It should be around the right time to change my Polo Gti!
