The article also mentioned cosmetic upgrades to the exterior and interiors. More importantly there's a possibility of a fresh cockpit as well. With these changes, given what a beauty the fiesta diesel is to drive, ford should have a winner on their hands, atleast on paper.
I'm pretty certain that with the right pricing, the ikon 1.4 diesel could garner a fair share of the mid size diesel saloon segment. Inspite of it being a ten year old design, i still think the ikon can hold its own amongst the more modern cars in terms of styling.
Lets just hope the brakes are upgraded to keep up with the superior performance of the diesel powertrain.
