re-read my post Piotr "Ford OZ also wanted to spec it with a 6 sp gear box but it pushed the price too high to be compeditive"
From the information i have Ford Australia felt that this car is already arriving on OZ behind the competition and wanted to investigate ways of enhancing the car. The biggest complaint around the current Fiesta has been the gear ratio above 100klm/hr. Ford OZ felt that a 6 sp might do the trick. They spec'd it, asked the factory and the factory said yes and it will cost you x amount. Ford oz then picked themselves up off the floor and stuck with the 5sp.......
Mate Ford brazil and columbia have a supercharged version of our much loved fiesta......if ford can make a dollar out of it, then the factory will do what the factory is told.
