I just bought mine!
I just took delivery of my new Fiesta. This is the car I have always wished Ford would make. I can answer a few questions about the car. Generally, if something is cheap and really works, like grill shutters, and the car does not have it, there is a good reason for it. Air flow is critical with a turbo and any risk under the most extreme conditions possible means it won't be put into production. That's my guess anyway. Europe does have a stop-start version so it can be done. Maybe the U.S. market isn't ready for it. It does have regenerative braking or a mild form of it anyway. It doesn't have to be the cheapest car out there because it is so nice to drive. You buy a really fun to drive small car and 45+ mpg is a bonus. Most importantly, will it match the EPA rating? My early results in subfreezing, mixed driving on winter gas says it will blow them away. I'm on track to beat the highway rating already, well before the break in period.
