Reviews SummaryThe 2015 Ford Fiesta is just a year into a styling nip and tuck that gave the compact hatchback and sedan a trapezoidal grille and revised rear fascia, plus the arrival of an EcoBoost model. The Fiesta came to the U.S. for 2010, plucked from the global Ford lineup. The swept-back headlamps and cleanly creased bodysides are finally starting to fit in with the rest of the U.S. Ford lineup as other models get restyled with a new worldwide focus. | |
Reviews SummaryAs the dissonant chords of Dieselgate still resonate throughout the industry, most car companies have abandoned efforts toward any future diesel-powered cars. A $15 billion fine will have that sort of chilling effect. But Chevrolet has taken a different approach, instead seeing the mass retreat from diesel as an opportunity to fill a void. As the driver Jean-Pierre Sarti said in Frankenheimer’s 1966 epic “Grand Prix”: “When I see something really horrible, I put my foot down. Hard! Because I know that everyone else is lifting his.” | |
