The Fiesta sold here will be Front wheel drive, Just like the Focus in the EU, don't get your hopes up. Of course once we get the Focus ST over here you could probably find a way to rig up the 5 cylander volvo engine in it to an AWD Volvo drivetrain.

If I remember correctly from reading, the Fiesta will be available here in the U.S. (unsure of when). It will be turbocharged, but I do not think it will be AWD.

If they don't release an AWD version, that's weak. If they do, it might be the only other car I'd consider other than an Evo under $80k.

even in EU they dont sell it. Which is weird form the begin with since FIA made a rule way way back , to run a Rally Championship you need a production car which is sold if im right at least 2500 unit a year...

So then Ford wasnt very successful so the French /Both makes the FIA rules, UK and F/ and some how they can run non production cars...

Anyway i love the EU fords . Specially the cossi's
I hope they change they marketing and they will sell the AWD version of the focus or the fiesta . and fianlly they will have a production version.
