Ha ha, in the middle picture, I think you are implying the return of the Mercury Lynx!

Looks more like a Lynx than a Fiesta!
Or a Ford Cheetah?

I love that people are asking about the Cd of new vehicles (even if it's "just" an ecomodder member").
Eventually, more members of the general public will learn/understand about the impact of drag on efficiency and start asking about it. That'll ratchet up the competition among automakers to out-do each other. We're already starting to see that, and not just in the "eco" category.
To answer your question...
Seems like the stock Fiesta 2-door has an unimpressive Cd of .33 . The European "Econetic" version improves on that, but the figure isn't given. Source: Ford Fiesta ECOnetic (2009) with pictures and wallpapers |

We want low drag, we want low drag, we want low drag, we want low drag...   
The iQ Cd of 0.299 is looking pretty good, then! The new Insight is 0.28, and the new Prius is 0.25 -- sweeet! |

If I remember correctly, yes -- and the Yaris is 0.29, as well. Yup, here's a page that says this (near the bottom):
