Ford Fiesta first impression: very, very cool 8 months ago on Autoblog Green

We'll admit, we're a little bummed we didn't win a chance for the six-month Ford Fiesta visiting rights.

43.1 mpg on the streets of LA! While General Motors and Chrysler basically turned out the lights on their presence at the LA Auto Show last month, Ford kicked off one of its biggest product onslaughts in decades. The 2010 Mustang may have captured the hearts of enthusiasts, but the heavily ...
