2014 FORD FIESTA ST: SIESTA NO LONGER - Fiesta ST subcompact packs protein-enriched fun, but will Americans care?

摘要

POLITE APPLAUSE FOR THE CAR-building monolith in Dearborn, Mich. Ford Motor Co. is gambling on a rousing little car: the 2014 Fiesta ST. It relates to the current Fiesta lineup as the Focus ST does to more ordinary variants like the Focus SEL. The subcompact Fiesta ST starts with a 65 percent horsepower boost and finishes with a range of performance-balancing upgrades. The gamble? That there exist enough enthusiastic buyers to pay 45 percent more for a hot-rod Fiesta.
