Ford Fiesta Rallycross cars make U.S. debut & road version of new Fiesta is tested.

Two-time World Rally Champion Marcus Grönholm performed tire melting, figure-eight donuts in the parking lot of Phil Long Ford, in Colorado Springs today. The exciting driving display kicked off the U.S. introduction of the two Olsberg Motor Sport Evolution, Ford Fiesta Rallycross cars. Grönholm, and Olsberg MSE team manager Andreas Eriksson (himself a four-time Swedish Rally champion), will each attempt to set a new record, and to break the elusive ten minute mark in Sunday’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

Marcus Grönholm (on the left) is very tall - probably somewhere around 6' 4" or so. Andreas Eriksson is probably near 6'. Grönholm is the tallest racing driver I've ever seen in person. The fiesta for the road was quite comfortable, and roomy enough for me (I'm slightly taller than 6').

HyundaiSmoke- do you know how rediculous you look every time you post here, or are you translating directly from Korean to English?

Looks nothing like the Accent.

That, and the Fiesta is actually a good car.

Similar =! same

Koreans have a history copying everything in sight, if you were wondering why everyone jumps on them for that sort of thing. Are you saying the new Spectra's front end doesnt look EXACTLY LIKE the current Civic?

Why would anyone copy a hyundai/Kia design anyway? Theyve yet to make a decent looking car.
