The Ford Fiesta – Not in America!
The new Ford Fiesta seems like the perfect car for the environmentally friendly movement. It is an agile small car that can fit up to 5 people and can get over 60 miles per gallon. The Fiesta is the ultimate diesel car, too bad its not coming to America.
Even though the Fiesta could compete with other fuel efficient cars, Ford is only selling them in Europe. The only reason the President of Ford gave for not selling this car in America is tha it would be too pricey to import.
The main reason for the selective selling is that the Fiesta runs on diesel fuel and the US remains to detest the fuel. Diesel cars have the nasty stigma of being smelly, smog emitting cars to the general US public.
Diesel fueled cars are now introduced in the market with pollution fighting technology that is as clean as or even cleaner than gasoline with 30% more fuel efficiency. A car that gets 65 miles per gallon would be perfect for the American market? Ford doesn’t think that North and South America would buy any diesel cars. The Fiesta ECOnetic is comparable to European diesels but Ford can’t make a business case for bringing the car to the US.
Further more, this vehicle is manufacturered in England and would cost a pretty penny to be shipped overseas to the US.Will the American Public urge car makers to make diesel cars for us to buy?Volkswagen has been selling diesel cars in American for quite some time now.The Volkswagen Jetta has the same price as the Fiesta, gets far worse fuel economy, and has been called the green car of the year. Ford is missing out on all this publicity the Jetta is enjoying.
