While you are correct in a sense your are wrong in the point your putting across. You can't simply use a currency conversion to get the estimated cost of a car. Compare the price of a Fiesta in europe, a Focus ST in europe and other euro cars to here and you will not get the currency conversion rate. You end up with a figure around 1.9 times the price in the UK.

My guess would be a price of 25,990.


Photn the mk7 is intended for release around the 2008 mark. Ford still have more than a year to sell the ST and build up the Fiesta name. They want to sell their cars and if people go and buy a mk6 ST and see the MK7 a year later they may very well buy it aswell giving Ford Aus profit on both cars not just one.

The people at the motor show ill have little to no idea about the Fiesta.
