Talking Added styling bite for 2009 Fiesta

OK. I like many of the people on here love the look of the the Fez. Classy, fresh, new and resonably sporty.

However, i can't help but feel the side mirror and small second window near the mirror give it an undersirable mini MPV feel that hinders its sporty aspirations a tad. No doubt this assists with vision etc and seems to be somewhat of a trend, but i cant help wonder how it would like with a newly positioned mirror and better window to further take it up to the Mazda 2......

What do you guys think? First one is the standard shot and the second is my Photoshop effort (go easy, i'm still learning to use it!)

Yeah the big mirrors are a trend these days...help visibility i suppose, especially with the poor rear vis in many modern cars. I personally dont' have a problem with 'smaller' wing mirrors, people tell me AU/BA mirrors are too small, hogwash in my opinion LOL!!!

Still, th Fez does look hot......going to be built in thailand (designed in europe still obviously) in a mazda plant, so should come here much cheaper/more kit than now. IF Ford can get the word out properly should lead to much increased sales for the Fez in the current fuel climate.
