Ford also designed a FIESTA for India.

I agree it is ugly, but it is really nice compared to what comes out of India (thinking Tata and Mahindra), so it should sell well there. Also, i imagine price is more important than anything there. There is no compact car that looks as good as the new Fiesta.

those saying its ugly....
this is what it has to compete with...the following are the top 5 sellers in the last financial year.... Maruti Suzuki Alto - 212,568 Maruti Suzuki WagonR - 134,768 Tata Indica - 111,256 Maruti Suzuki Swift - 110,071 Hyundai i10 - 106,095 and now to put the Figo in the same pic.... Ford Figo sorry about all the pictures...but I thought it would give ppl a better idea of what it was competing against, and why priced right, it should succeed. Edit: I am a retard, for some reasons the other pics arent coming up as images, but as links...kind of ruins the comparison. |

The swift and the i10 look fine, Certainly not ugly so I don't see why you're using them as "ugly" comparisons.
Especially the Swift - a proven good looker. Ford would have been better off selling the Mk6 WQ Fiesta there unchanged. I'm not big on this one. But again, it's for the indian market, and I'd have to agree it seems to suit perfectly. |

So the boring, bland, outdated etc etc lines of the Figo shouldnt be an issue...Middle class India thinks they are great. @Boss315 - ta! Last edited by HTCURRY; 25-09-2009 at 04:09 PM. |
