Ford Ecosport (USA)

[2o6]

I'm not sure why they bothered with this car; granted it's a hot segment, but this car isn't very well reviewed wherever it's sold. Also the basic design is fairly old, dating back to 2011.


Not to mention it won't be here til 2018.


Power comes thru a 1.0L turbo (FWD) or a 2.0L (AWD). Both are 6AT transmissions.

Something depressing to compete with the Chevy Trax (and the god-awful "real people, not actors" marketing campaign) and that equally stupid Buick: you know, the one where the commercials show you stepping into the high life after buying a sub-compact Buick SUV.  "Look at that suave, sophisticated, gorgeous investment banker in his sexy Buick!  Yeah, that's the same make as my hospice-ridden grandmothers car!"  Busty models stopping to stare at a Bradley Cooper knock-off throw the valet his keys: "Yeah, it's a Buick" as if he is so confident that line will moisten the Cowboy's cheerleaders at the door to some celebrity-only club.

"Hey ladies, my other car is a Chevy Spark."

"We can only get so wet..."

Fucking rubbish cars.  I hope Russia and America do joint nuclear weapons testing, rounding up every one of those shitboxes and using them as visuals for the shot.

Those commercials need to fuck off and die.

It ain't that damn serious.


The Trax and Encore are selling pretty steadily. It's basically a taller, slower, slightly larger version of the car I have now.

Dude, that was really really funny.

No manual. But the Fiesta 1.0 is manual only. Ford is idiots.

I hear it will offer an optional graphics kit that includes a rocker panel stripe akin to the Mustang's, but with the words "Panty Dropper" instead of "Mustang".

I hate this car so fucking much.  I'm DREADING seeing these again in the UAE

Lol man, what in that tirade sounded serious?

These depressing little kickballs can't come to our shores

I thought the part about joint nuclear testing would have given the game away.  Apparently, I was incorrect.

Agreed, it seems bizarre they'd wait so long and still not be able to bring in a fresh design. When I was seeing these photos associated with stories about the 2018, I just figured they were using the current model as a placeholder photo while awaiting the unveiling.

And the segment isn't so hot that, when everyone is already promptly selling something in that class, every entry is guaranteed decent sales.

I thought they looked cute enough when I saw a few near the Mexican border

Yeah, they all look cute near the border, but wait until they're in your neighborhood taking your jobs!

[Payman]

Those are some hellacious A-pillars. Does it come with a periscope or is that extra.

This is what we pay for. 



Dan?...Is anyone paying for this?

I only see two options:

1) Dan is making "fuck you money" off our ads and blistering, almost assuredly record-setting site-traffic, plowing the Jersey beaches in a Range Rover like his high school prom date; or,

2) Dan is in the back of Raza's trunk but by some stroke of luck (and Seattle Kevin) and modicum of  automination, we're self sufficient and small enough to drift along forum limbo like the crew of Firefly.

Well Donald is an admirer of Putin, so your wish may come true...
