I shouldn't be too far away, but I think if you want one you better buy the first one you see (based on the previous supply issues:P)

Late this year. You're probably looking in access of $25,000 on-road for one of these suckers though, and combine the hefty price tag with steel rims, crap tyres and not that much kit, and it's kind of a 'halo' or 'hero' (depending what way you want to look at it) model for the Fiesta range rather than a genuine model. Ford are putting more kit into our model, but it won't be a Zetec spec. I've said it once, and probably say it another thousand times, but Ford whould just offer the 1.6L diesel engine as an upgrade engine to existing Fiesta models (similar to LPG on the Falcon). Having to roll around on steelies with those crap tyres is a waste of a good car. In my eyes the Fiesta range should be...

Style - CL is such a daft name, but keep the specs.
Style + or something along those lines - LX specs
Zetec - Same as our Zetec
Titanium - Zetec features plus leather, rain-sensing wipers, Ford Power start with keyless entry, auto-air. Keep the body kit and make it a "cool" luxury car, not a 'Fiesta Ghia.'
XR4 - That's to come in 2011.

All bar the XR to have either a 1.6L petrol or diesel (until ECOBoost comes online). Then, and only then will we kill that horrid Echo, sorry Yaris...

Ford AU are g..no I wont say that in a Fiesta thread :P.. silly enough to call a posh Fiesta a Ghia but that would be as bad as calling a sports one the XR4, the XR Falcons are poser enough as it is, but having a 4 on the end is just wrong. If you want good economy you need skinny wheels so I can see the logic in the skinny steel wheels, there's no point in fat alloys on a fuel sipper
