The EcoSport, which was i think it's a Jacked-up Fiesta. Prices start from 19.5k USD, or about 2k cheaper that the Fiesta EcoBoost in here. What do you think?

*I think it's fugly. Not sure how it drives tough. But it's sorta interesting as well.

Not sure what I think of the looks although it seems like an aggressive escape.

This, the Juke, the Chevy Trax, straight from the showroom, racing as a support series for the Stadium Trucks or the Lucas Oil Offroad series.

It is a jacked up Fiesta. It is as bad as you think it is.

It's CHEAPER than the Fiesta where you live? That's a first!

It looks more like a Ford C-MAX than anything else but still doesn't look like any of Ford's current cars (for the US at least).

Personally, I love small off road vehicles. Suzuki Samurai, Rav4, CRV, all very fun off road.

this looks like all sorts of fun. I wonder if any rental companies will rent this. That would be amazing.

Well, i live in Indonesia and Fiesta is sorta expensive in here, somehow. FiST is 27k, Ecoboost was 22k. There's also a Fiesta Sedan, but i don't know how much is that thing.

Well, the EcoSport was made in Thailand. Let's hope the millitary burn the factory.

It looks like an angry cartoon toad that works out. This amuses me.

I live in Brazil (where this Jacked up Fiesta abomination comes from), and here the base model Fiesta with the 1.6 engine costs around US$18k. The base model EcoSport costs at least 25 (2k less than a top model, fully loaded Fiesta Titanium). Top models reach up to 35.

We don't have the FiST here :(

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW.

Kinja'd!!!

It bears some resemblance to the '13 on Escape, and to the '14 on Transit Connect. That's enough to expect something like that on more of Ford's offerings these next few years.

It reminds me a bit of this little 4wd VW I see up here every now and them They all have Baja, Mexico plates so I don't know what they are called...I don't hate it, but I'm not sure if I like it, either.

Looks like a pretty decent amount of ground clearance. Looks like it would be a blast to zip around in, actually.

oh see. Sometimes I forget how international oppo is. I had heard about the ecosport a few years ago but I was under the impression it would never be sold in the US.
