SPIED: Looks Like The Ford Fiesta Wants To Get In On The ST Act

The funny thing about siblings is that the little brother is always chasing around his big brother. I know, since I was the youngest of five. That meant 00R was always nagging his elders.

Sometimes we see the same trend in automakers too.

For example, take a look at the Ford Fiesta ST. No, not the Focus ST that will be making its debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. We're talking about the Fiesta.

This beefed up looking Fiesta is said to be producing around 200 horsepower from a turbocharged motor, if that was not obvious from the intercooler.

As its early in its testing phase, details remain sketchy.

Feast your eyes on the hottest Fiesta yet. This is the new Fiesta ST – which we've caught undergoing testing at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany.

Now I may seriously consider a Fiesta over something a little larger. I priced one online, and loaded with all the goodies from Sync to leather with a stick it was only like 20k.

I just wish that Ford would stop the typical practice of "dumbing" down the Euro suspension to cope with the so called American driving conditions.
