2008 Ford Fiesta Facelift. EDIT: Now launched

amtak · 30th May 2008, 12:15

I see a new alloy wheel design. Or is it the wheel cap? Also, did the Ikon have the 3rd taillamp on the rear windshield or on the parcel shelf?

Landcruiser you seem to be official Ford spy pics catcher

! Anyways thanks
for the pics. Im quite surprised there is no change in rearlights

! I think only interiors and headlamps will be facelifted in the new ikon !

@Amtak - i think thats the wheelcap.

I doubt even 100bhp. That would be a massive jump from existing 68bhp. It may be around the 90bhp mark

Ford factory is on the way to my office!

And my zoom lens was rusting without use anyway! So I thought will give it some work!

With those new spy pics of Ikon having not much change in looks I am damn sure its just the Diesel one that is being tested (IMO)

True. But im quite disappointed that they didnt bring any changes to the rear as shown in the spy pics. Only the front part is camoflauged. Since the badging in the rear is covered it gives us a hint that its the 1.4 D.

Are the tail lights in the pics smoked? or are they been just camouflaged? Btw really nice scoop there landcruiser.

Wonder what would be changes in the Fiesta then. Other than the front headlamps and grill maybe, from landcruiser's pic doesnot seem to be any change in the side profile of the car. Hopefully they have spruced up the interiors atleast.

I remember that they had predicted that Fiesta would also get a facelift to resemble the one sold in the Latin American markets and we all know what happened to that.

Exactly.

So much for the 'scoop' in the magazine. Slapping a boot onto a Ford Ka requires huge capital investment which might not bear fruit if the car does not do massive numbers (which the present Ikon does not). Trusted sources from within and connected to the forum have proven far more accurate time and again.

This is strange. Why would someone delete a thread from the forum

By the way penpavan since you could dig out the url from your browser's history it's likely that the pictures are stored in your browser's cache or temporary internet files. If you want you could retrieve the images from there. If you need help in how to do this you can PM me.
