Maybe.
Here is a link to the U.S.A. Ford Fiesta for late 2009, So yeah the gasser will pass crash standards. But the diesel will not pass our country definition of emissions friendly. Parts per million instead of grams per mile.

Taken directly from that link: We lamented at the time neither the Mazda or its Ford counterpart would ever be sold on U.S. shores, but apparently Ford had decided before the Geneva show that the Fiesta would be bound for the U.S.
