They weren't US-Spec. They were 2009 Fiesta Titanium Package, German version cars. I drove one (guy even had a scangaugeII!), and on hills (warm engine) with the 5-speed manual I got 40.5 (or 40.9, can't remember) MPG US.
The US version it looks like will get the same 1.6L Ti-VCT engine, but not the 5 speed manual - seems to be that it'll get the 6-speed PowerShift transmission; a dual-clutch auto controlled manual gearbox. I only ONCE saw postulation on the EPA ratings; and it was said that they're looking for 31/39.
