Not sure if I like the grille on the Fiesta? I know it's only a spy shot and is half covered, but it just seems a little off to me. Can't wait to see the real deal though, it'll definitely pack a punch.
With a facelift imminent for the Fiesta, will the rest of the rang adopt a tri-style grille like the new Focus too?

I think it needs something in the middle of the grille to break it up. Maybe a badge or a couple of carbon fibre dividers.

I don't think they've got the styling just right yet. The body looks like a regular fiesta above the wheels. The skirts look pretty average and if you zoom in on the grille, the edges are bolted onto the rest of the body with visible screws, then sealed to the front end of the Fiesta with some black gunk.
Looks like it's just there to accommodate more airflow into the engine. Maybe just testing a new engine/engine config, drivetrain, suspension and brakes? |

I think I agree with the general opinion, the front looks a bit meh, but hopefully that will be improved upon or changed for the final release version.
It will be interesting to see it in the flesh. Kitty |

If Ford pulls through into Aus with both the new Focus and Fiesta ST, I'm going to have a mighty hard time deciding...

 . Being a 'world car' I have no doubt that in time many companies will be offering bigger numbers for a bit of coin, just like the XR5. Fingers crossed that the ST's get the revo knuckle and that the Fiesta is granted IRS (I can dream...). Either way though, with big wheels, turbo and angry WRC styling, this car has the potential to be seriously cool, not to mention making my XR8 ute seem oafish and soft  .
