melbzetec · 17-11-2006, 04:20 PM

when new colours come out, send the letter back to Ford for a please explain.....or send to the local paper

Mr S'side Ford · 20-11-2006, 03:37 PM

Good afternoon guys, as a Ford salesman here in Brisbane i can tell you that the new blue colour is called Ocean, and we have it in stock now.
some of the other colours are...Verdigris - Green(aqua), Viola - Purple, & Frozen White.

Viola is coming out early next year as is the Fiesta Zetec 5 door, we already have some on order.

hope this clears up some of the questions.

Hey Dave.

So, the Zetec will come here as a 5door? WOW. Is the Ghia getting dropped then?

Any additional safety features available on the Zetec?

0xyg3n · 20-11-2006, 07:12 PM

could be droping the 3dr zetec for the XR4 :P

Ives · 20-11-2006, 07:14 PM

I dont think it's a good move to bring in the 5-dr Zetec.

I think it is a great idea, and possibly why Ford have lost quite a bit of sales.

Remember, the Ghia is aiming for a prestige small hatch back look.

When you think Yaris YRX and Jazz VTiS, these are sporty 5 door hatches with alloys. If you want a 5dr Fiesta with std alloys and other features, you can only get the Ghia which is priced high above $20k. So, bringing the 5dr Zetec is almost like bringing back some young people to the brand who are after more space/versatility. I think it will be great value, and should sell well too!

Remember also that the ABS will then be standard on the 5dr Manual Zetec (assuming it's like the 3dr versions) and will therefore have the alloys standard too.

Go Ford! Now, just give us the XR4 will you!

Hmm, and how much more sales would Ford looking to get with that in mind? .... in other words, I dont think there would be many young ppl that REALLY concerns about space/versatility when buying small cars. Let alone a spacious/versatile sporty 5-door hatch.

Going back to your post regarding "young people that are after more space/versatility".... I think those kind of young people would more likely to buy auto... which means... standard ABS and EBD.

Fiesta Ghia 5-door = RRP $20,490
Yaris YRX 5-door = RRP $20,590
Jazz VTi-S 5-door = RRP $20,590

They're priced VERY similar... however you mentioned something about "sporty 5-door hatch"... Fiesta Ghia isn't quite "sporty". So you have a good point saying the sporty 5-door Zetec would be better value against those cars mentioned above.

Exactly my point. If I can begin to see as many Fiesta Zetec 5drs as I do Jazz VTiS (doubt it!) I'm sure we will all be happy campers!

Given the price difference of the 3drs, the Zetec 5dr should be priced at $18,990!

Ives · 20-11-2006, 08:16 PM

I think the world's ending when Ford Aus is bringing in the Fiesta sedan.

(to compete with Yaris, Barina sedans).

Omg, I hope they don't!

Teki04 · 20-11-2006, 08:35 PM

Just thought about it another way. Maybe they are having a dig at Swift sales?

Remember, the Swift is 5dr only, and sells extremely well! I see just as many SwiftS as I do normal Swift models... So, bring it on!

Piotr · 20-11-2006, 08:50 PM

The brazilian sedan or Indian sedan?

kiwijohn42 · 20-11-2006, 10:48 PM

Sporty hatches should have 3 doors. 5 doors will always be shopping trolleys imho. Thats why I went for a Zetec & didn't even look at a Swift.

There are heaps of Hot Hatches coming in 5 doors at the moment

:

Also, you don't have to buy it... but others do, so that Ford can increase their profits, and bring us the XR4!

Hi Dave,

A few questions for you.
Will the 5 dr Zetec be here by April and do you know the price of the car?. Also, has Ford dropped the Sub-Lime colour?.

I just received an European Fiesta brochure and it is 68 pages thick!.

Regards,

Rob

Hi,

I just like to say that you can give me one of those "shopping trolleys" anyday. I'll be more than happy to pick one up for the school race as i need those 5 doors :eclipsee_ . If i didn't need one for the kids, i'll get a 3 door too but that is not the case for another few years. Bring on the shopping trolley in frozen white!.

Regards,

Rob

Rob, how do you go about getting the euro brochure? I'm interested in getting one!

There are big enough opening for anyone (well maybe except sumo wrestlers) to easily go in and out of the backseat.

kiwijohn42 · 21-11-2006, 06:17 PM

I'm sure a lot of people could use a 5 door. I don't want or need one though.
These cars, Swift, Colt, XR5/ST, Golf GTI, are available as 3 doors. Just not in Oz.

Logically when you think about the hassle of having to get OUT of the car to drop the kids off (i.e. front passenger needs to get out before the kids in the back can), and the amount of times you'd be doing that, you'd soon realise the need for a 5dr!

Not only that, but even if the front seat is free, the kids need to carefully open the front door by stretching and then get out of the car... and kids being kids, and the front door being long and heavy, I can see the door hitting heaps of parked cars :gren:

So, I say, for the sake of people with kids, give us the 5dr!

I've only ever had 3drs too!

But, I'm just saying that other people like 5drs for the practicality, and I wouldn't disregard the XR5T just because it has 5drs and not 3.

Also... the Golf GTI 3dr is now out here! $38,490 or something rather. My local dealer has two on their showroom floor, and the Sydney Motor Show had one in red!

kiwijohn42 · 21-11-2006, 06:38 PM

3 door GTI you say? Hmmm. Might have to have a look now.

Piotr · 21-11-2006, 07:20 PM

Teki do you really need 2 seperate posts that are 1 minute apart?

Hehe, how did I know you'd complain! Hence I left it.

But, if you must know,

Whilst I was writing my post (6.18pm), John got his smaller reply in at 6.17pm (which wasn't on my screen as I was writing the 6.18pm reply which obviously would take longer then John's!), so after I clicked 'send' I noticed John's 6.17pm post, and posted my reply to that at 6.19pm

Now, I really don't understand why I have to really explain myself to you.

But, since I apparently do, would you like to tell us all why you have TWO accounts? Piotr and Pieoter?

Piotr · 21-11-2006, 08:14 PM

Its called an edit function.

Piotr · 21-11-2006, 08:15 PM

I have 2 account because people thought my real name was Pieoter which it isn't.

And you don't have to explain yourself to me you chose to.

Also, what if Hyperkid would pressed 'quote' whilst I was replying to John's post? Then my 'edit' could have gone unnoticed

*EDIT* OK, soooooo, your allowed to post twice within a few minutes?

Oh, and what useful stuff have you mentioned in this thread?

I'm sorry, but all I remember was making a remark to me.

Maybe it's time to read this;

Sorry Pieoter

You did post something useful

Pie,

Dont start with this rubbish mate.

I would have thought someone of you're age would be quite over the whole immaturity thing
