I think this is by far the nicest car in that B-class segment. Puts the new Aveo5 to shame. Also 42mpg is in US gallons not imperial gallons.

The article doesn't state whether it's imperial or US gallons.

If it really gets 42mpg on gasoline then it'll be a winner for sure.

Fiesta is not Festiva FYI, the Festiva was built by Kia and sold by Ford to fill a niche for people who couldnt afford $1.10/gallon gas

I agree with everyone else. Looks great for the kind of car it is and will give the Beat some tough competition.
