proof reading? lol its cool still but doesn't the fiesta diesel get 65 mpg US? why not just sell those state side
Because they won't get 65mpg over here. Maybe ~53mpg, but Ford probably can't get the volume to get them below the price of something like the larger/better equipped Prius, and most people would probably buy a larger Prius instead of a compact Ford diesel given similar pricing.
