[AlCzervik]

They are also looking for 100 people to test drive them for awhile and blog about it.

1. Looks a bit like the Toyota Matrix.

Cute looking, that's for sure

It's no jeep, though.

[AlCzervik]

4. i'm thinking of signing up to be one of the testers, they just want people who like

smaller cars with stick shifts and that's me and since i'm pissed at my current car having that one for awhile could be fun.

8. I miss driving a stick. n/t

[AlCzervik]

10. the pool of cars available with them is dwindling fast.

which will make my choice easy next time since there will be so few models to choose from.

17. The nice thing about a stick is that most car thieves are clueless. nt

[AlCzervik]

18. that might be true most of the time but my car had a stick and it was stolen.

[arcadian]

12. Are they just giving them to people?

Or do you have to buy them? I've thought about contacting a car company and seeing if they would give me a car to drive all around the country. Do promotional type stuff and see how many miles I could rack up on it.

[AlCzervik]

13. i think it's a "borrow" type of thing, if you go to the website i linked there is

a tab for it and it explains how to apply.

2. Looks just like every other car that has been produced in the past 20 years to me.

Is there a such thing as a car that does not look like an egg with wheels?

Anyone remember when cars used to look cool?

I dont- but I saw the pictures.

3. Great little car. It never should have left !

[LeftyMom]

5. It looks like the bastard child of a Focus and a Prius.

:shrug:

Domestic subcompacts tend to suck, quality-wise. The early Focus years had problems with the wheels falling off while people were driving.

6. Ford's been making that thing everywhere else but the US for years.

This new one would be the Ford Fiesta Mark VIII

[AlCzervik]

7. Ford has really cute cars in Europe and this one reminds of that market.

i hope it works out for them.

[GOPisEvil]

9. They brought the Contour over from Europe and that was fairly successful.

It only makes sense from a cost of production sense to design fewer platforms and make them all over the world. GM is starting to do more of that as well.

[LeftyMom]

11. They'll find a way to make the US version suck though.

They always do. It's Ford.

[GOPisEvil]

14. I wish Ford would bring the Mondeo over.

It's got to be better than the Taurus. Ugh.

[LeftyMom]

15. A bus pass is more exciting than the Taurus.

[GOPisEvil]

16. *nod, nod, nod*

[vadawg]

19. ill stick to my toyota, never liked ford except the old transit.

[mainegreen]

20. I like it.

If it actually ends up looking remotely like the pictures

[AlCzervik]

21. true, the actual model may not like either one in the pic.

[flvegan]

22. I like the hatch.

The sedan, not so much. Sadly, the prototypes almost never look like the final product.

[AlCzervik]

23. yeah, it would be cool if they did look like the ones in the pic.

[underpants]

24. Gees how could they lose money?

just watch and see

[CatholicEdHead]

25. The hatchback model makes me think it is a rebranded Mazda 3

which could be the base model.

[flvegan]

26. It's actually the Mazda2, which isn't sold here.

Little smaller than the 3.
