Here is a proposed design for the 7th generation fiesta, personally i think they should go back to the drawing board!! its horrible but obviously this image has been put together with insider info so it may look completely different

Another thing i noticed is that the lights are too much like the s-max ligts which dissapoints me, they should be a bit more original. but you cant blame them from borrowing from the jazz and pug because they are two of the best sellers here

If Ford Australia brought a fiesta looking like that I think they will be the laughing stock in Australia. Ive seen a few images floating around on the web about leaked pictures of the next gen Fiesta and they all have either a focus or fusion or s max look to them some even Fiat inspired??. So i dont know what direction Ford Europe are looking at. Even on a European persective, where the fiesta " has been a leading model for the past 30 years" going from the image above they will totally lose respect for a great car
At the moment i think the fiesta wp & wq are very stylish and sexy to say the least even a fusion look aight. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/...1301940200.htm http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/au...pace_race.html

MERCEDES A CLASS RIP OFF!
 Looks exactly like an A Class - a mini MPV. One of the reasons I purchased the Fiesta Zetec was because it looked like a conventional Hatch... this just looks wrong.

The C-pillar smacks of quite a few of the current Euros and even a certain Korean but the nose is where Ford Europe seem to be heading after the Iosis concept. Overall I'm glad that's just a mockup because it's a really convoluted design with lines going everywhere, it simply hasn't the purity of previous Fiestas.
There may also be a Fiat connection, the next-gen Ka is built from the same platform as the new Fiat 500.

Oh I know! Fiat (Grand) Punto!
  Front kind of looks similar to the news scoop on the Fiesta7. For example the front lights, and the small triangle glass at the bottom of the A pillar, beside the front door! (which makes me think it looks MPV like)

I was just speculating though. The Fiat is a very interesting small hatch, something I'm certain to check out and maybe recommend to others. Oh, and Jim, prices start at $19,990 for the 1.4L Petrol Dynamic

Top pic looks a bit photo shopped with bits from other fords, Galaxy lights & wheels. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out nothing like that.

I had a brief look at the Punto at the Adelaide Motorshow a couple of months ago but it wasn't available to drive then. I'd be keen to see what the diesels are like if only to satisfy my morbid curiousity.

There was a review on the Punto's in a recent mag (Motor?) and it wasn't too flattering. Bit of a disappointment reading it.
