Ford Fiesta ST
The Ford Authority Take
The growth in Ford Fiesta sales is a bit unexpected considering that the Fiesta has been discontinued for the U.S. market, and based on current market trends that strongly favor crossovers and SUVs over traditional cars like sedans and hatchbacks.
We attribute the rise in Ford Fiesta sales volume to Ford discounts on the Fiesta, which offered as much as $3,000 off the vehicle along with interest-free financing.
