If you thought the original Fiesta Movement was cool, wait until you dive into Chapter 2. This time it enlists 40 people to tell the story of the newest Ford car in 16 cities across the country.
The Fiesta Movement was a social media initiative designed to create excitement about the new Ford Fiesta, putting the small car on the minds of thousands of people nationwide in the U.S. in 2009.
Fiesta Movement Chapter 2 consists of 20 teams comprised of two agents each. These agents were selected from over 1,000 applicants. Their mission will be to redefine the way Fiesta is brought to market by interacting with consumers online and offline, while bringing Fiesta to their communities.
“This was a natural progression from the first phase of the Fiesta Movement,” said Connie Fontaine, Ford Brand Content and Alliances manager. “Chapter 2 will still be rooted in social media, but this time the content will also live offline and find its way into new mediums. Fiesta needs to clearly be the star now as the agents share their work within their communities and beyond.”
Agents will complete a series of missions, where they will compete in challenges locally that leverage the best of their communities, allowing them to open the discussion about Fiesta through social media and beyond.
After completing a challenge, agents will produce and place the creative content online at www.fiestamovement.com, where followers also can keep up with their favorite agents. The best content will be recognized based on online consumer interaction and consumers’ opinions about the agents’ work, and will be amplified in local media and events as well as through a variety of national mediums.
One of the missions in Chapter 2 is called “Show the World UR Personality,” where agents will design their Fiesta wrap, working with designers to create a wrap that fits their team’s personality. Their personalized Fiesta will be delivered to the agent team, and the best wrap, as voted on by the fans on www.fiestamovement.com, will later be available to consumers. Additionally, the winning wrap will be integrated into a future national Fiesta display.
The first Fiesta Movement generated more than 6.2 million YouTube views, more than 750,000 Flickr views and nearly 4 million Twitter impressions. The Fiesta Movement also set a Guinness World Record for the most attendees at a tweetup during the Fiesta Movement Awards Celebration in West Hollywood in December. This unprecedented event brought together 1,149 Fiesta Movement agents and Twitter friends.

If they just used the "serial hybrid" drives they already have developed, they would put the POS prius to shame, and have real cars once again.

Lastly, SUVs and large trucks aren't safer. A lot use rather unforgiving rail frames and have higher centers of gravity. Also- the Prius isn't a "POS". Its been out there for now well over 10 years. Its only been just more recently that the Big 3 have actually started to get it together and produce anything- like the Fusion for example- that could compete against it. Don't blame Toyota for taking the first dive and taking a chance on new technology.

I owned a '78 Fiesta Pro Rally car I manged to import from Europe (roll cage and all) and loved that car. I've driven a few European Fords (in particular the Puma which I couldn't import) while traveling in Europe. Currently own a few Fords, including the S/R version of the ZX2. If I can't get the Fiesta RS, I may look at performance versions of the Focus or of the AWD Fusion.

Also, Toyota ships most the component parts for its vehicles to the US for ASSEMBLY, A.K.A. Made In Japan.

You'll actually find that this is pretty much inline with the number of US-made components you'd find in your typical US brand vehicle.
But just for comparison, here's a list of cars with the percentage of components made in the USA:
Ford Fusion: 30%
Ford F-Series: 85%
Toyota Tundra: 80%
Chevy Malibu: 80%
Toyota Camry: 80%
Honda Accord: 70%
Chrysler PT Cruiser: 35%
Anyway, as you can see the numbers show that Japanese and US automakers are pretty much neck and neck in producing the same number of "American-made" cars. Personally to me it doesn't really matter. If the vehicle is a good quality product, the engineering and production is well-done, then I will be happy.
