However, it looks like that lone complaint may be addressed with the introduction of the Fiesta ST , the smaller sibling to the recently revealed Focus ST . Similar to the mule caught in Detroit earlier this year, the three-door Fiesta is back with a massive front-mount intercooler, revised body work, new wheels and a high-performance exhaust, along with some racy Recaros that probably won’t make the trek from prototype to production.

Filed under: Spy Photos , Crossover , Ford , UK Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta-based crossover mule – click above for high-res image gallery Ford is enjoying early success with the Fiesta here in the United States, but in Europe, where the Fiesta has been on sale for years, it’s time to start thinking about the future. Our friendly neighborhood snappers at CarPix have scored spy shots of what appears to be a high-riding Fiesta-based crossover designed to slot in below the Kuga crossover in the automaker’s European lineup. A Fiesta crossover might sound a little odd at first take, but when it comes to production, it should be roughly the same size as a Nissan Juke or Mini Countryman . That in mind, don’t rule out the possibility of the Fiesta CUV making its way to the U.S.

Filed under: Budget , Videos , Hatchback , Ford Ford Fiesta “You so Pimping, You so Sexy” ad by Film Riot – Click above to watch the video after the jump Ford may have its own ad campaign for the Fiesta , but we’re mildly amused by this one-off, three-minute-long ad created by the folks at Film Riot , an online how-to show about filmmaking. The Blue Oval currently sponsors the Film Riot crew, so it makes sense that the funky new Fiesta hatch (in Lime Squeeze, of course) would be the star of their ad spoof. One part Swagger Wagon rap and one part Sprockets , the Euro-inspired dance track fits the Fiesta perfectly. Note to Ford: Edit this down to a 30-second television spot posthaste, or keep it in its entirety for next year’s Super Bowl

Filed under: Motorsports , Ford , Racing RallyCar Rallycross at New Jersey Motorsports Park – Click above for high-res image gallery Tanner Foust took the top spot in the first-ever Rallycross competition in the United States this past weekend, piloting an all-wheel-drive Rockstar Engergy/Etnies Ford Fiesta . Rallycross has existed around the world for years, but the sport officially debuted in America at the 2010 X Games , where it was called Super Rally. Foust just happened to win gold in the inaugural X Games competition, too. Rallycross mixes circuit racing, off-road racing and rally competition on a short course, featuring jumps, hills, unbanked turns and quick transitions between different road surfaces.
