      You'd have to be a bit daft to think there won't be. Ford has (unlike other car makers) realised that loads of people remap and found a way to influence what people do to their cars. At least by off

    I'm surprised those 'wheel spats' are legal in the UK.  I recall other performance cars with various bumper/arch trinkets which assist downforce, reducing dirty air, etc weren't allowed in the UK because of pedestrian safety?  When getting hit by 1.5 tonnes of metal, a bit of tupperware would be the least of my worries!

    This will either be a genuine Fiesta ST rival or be such a mediocre half-assed attempt that you'll question why Toyota even bothered...

    Reminds me a little of what Audi should have done with the S1 .Unfortunately  The S1 was way over priced from day one and never really took off in volume terms it should have done.

    Sato San is my type of engineer keep it simple (6 speed manual gearbox) and keep it light (hopefully). Could be a riot to drive as long as it's not too expensive.:thinking:
