I like it, the missus does too. I can see her already working up the courage to talk me into an upgrade from the 2010 Zetec.

Why is the upper grille surround chrome but the bottom one isn't. Doesn't look right.

I dont mind the grill treatment actually. If the bottom grill was chrome as well it would remind me of the FG Mk1 G6E front end treatment. Horrible. Just a massive shiny mouth with little eyes to see.

I love the 'Aston' front end treatment, and how it gels with the rest of the car.
The side skirts and wheels look fantastic on the MY13 (and would look great on my WS Zetec) The fact that the standard MY13 Fiesta range(1L EcoBoost equipped) will sip 3 litres per hundred kays (half what the current 1.6L engine drinks) AND the ST with the EcoBoost 1.6 will sip around 6 litres per hundred, pretty much equalling the consumption of current (much less powerful) 1.6, is incredible!! Great work Ford!! |

Let's hope we see the Evos face appear on the '14 Falcon too.

I guess I'm one of the few that don't like the Aston Martin front end. I don't think it suits the car at all. I prefer the current corporate face.

That front end is so funny. No idea how someone signed off on that. The rest of it is very generic.

I think it looks pretty good for a small car.

Ford have dropped the price of the current model by up to $1500 on some models. Good move, makes them more price competitive compared to rivals.
Hopefully that carries through to the new one. |
