The ford fiesta was a much better engineered car than a bricklin any day of
the week and is still being produced today in Spain and is a big seller in
the European market. Until a couple of years ago I road raced a fiesta and
kept at least one as a driver. My driver($100) out performed my 911($32,000)
on the road race track by over 2 seconds a lap! by the way the driver was a
car I purchased off the back line of used car lot, all it needed was a CV
joint and the only upgrade was 13' wheels and tires off an escort. By the
way a 6' 6'' person can comfortably drive a fiesta and see the gauges, it
ways about 1/2 the weight of a "B" and carries more passengers, shall I go
on. I still have a couple of these little gems stashed out in the back 40
