Are you sure about european fiesta sharing platform with Indian Fiesta. I disagree upon that.

Both vehicles have entirely diffrent hard points set-up. for sharing platform atleast basic fixing points should be same, although overall length may differ like in case of old Fiesta hatch & icon sedan, they share same platform 100% correct.

Indian fiesta design process was entirely new, carried out by Ford of Aisa Pacific, intial process of design was carried out in australia in assistance with Ford of India & few european companies & later phase was done in India.
