Someone needs to buy / rent a Fiesta and bring it Carlisle. I wanna see one of these in action! :yesnod

Spoiler alert: the chick who is hosting the video is dumber than a box of hammers :facepalm:

I was actually checking out a Fiesta as a possible car for my wife. It has great features, attractive styling, decent power and a good price. I'll take the Lamborghini if someone is offering though.

Different era, but back in 1978, the first car that I bought in this country was a Ford Fiesta. :yesnod

Made in Europe, it was a fun econobox and quite inexpensive ... competed well with the VW Rabbit that was the canonical role model for these low-cost, fun cars back in the seventies! :)

Someone should probably tell TheCarConnection that youtube supports HD video now. 480x360 hurts my eyes.

So let me get this straight. They ran a test to see which car is smaller and has a tighter turning radius, and the smaller car with a tighter turning radius won? I was neutral on the Fiesta before this video, now I actively dislike it because of this retarded marketing attempt.

They might as well run a competition for which of the two cars is more green, and say the Fiesta vastly outperforms the Lamborghini.

I've never really liked the Gallardo anyway. If I owned one of every other supercar on earth and needed to get rid of $200,000 in a particularly desparate way, I'd STILL not really want one.

R8's better looking AND cheaper anyway.

^ Couldn't have said it better.

Talk to me when the fiesta comes with 600+hp and 600+ lb-ft

Gallardo is AWD. You can get it sideways, but you're not going to be steering with the throttle in tight quarters like you might with a not-stupid car like, say, a 430 or 458. Or any of a vast number of other supercars that all manage fantastic handling without the crutch of AWD.

The local constabulary tend to frown upon my "oil-pan-pirouette" maneuver, but I'm pretty sure I got something that'll turn in a tighter space. :)

I don't know if this is a euphemism or Greg just legitimately talking about one of his many cars.

One more person thinking of me naked.

...or my garage.

Either way, my work here is done.
