Ford Fiesta ST.

Ford Motor Company has a long history of building successful hot hatchbacks. Soon to join the ranks of such icons like the Cosworth Escort and Focus RS could be the next hot-rod Fiesta, the ST. Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Ford Fiesta ST Concept hits at the upcoming line of high performance small cars to come out of the blue oval. “The Fiesta has a rich history of high-performance models so a new ST performance model is a logical next step in our performance vehicle strategy for our global small cars,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development.
Under the hood of the concept is the 1.6 liter version of Ford’s EcoBoost turbocharged inline four cylinder. Using variable cam timing, direct injection and a single turbocharger, the ST makes a stout 178 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Matched to a six speed manual transmission and front wheel drive, 62 mph can be achieved in less than seven seconds. In a straight line, the Fiesta ST will officially be a hot hatch.

On the outside, the ST looks the part as the body lines have been tweaked and sculpted. New is the large, “trapezoidal” grille with a honeycomb mesh finish. The rear bumper features a functional diffuser with dual exhaust and everything is lower than the standard Fiesta. 17 inch wheels round out the ST, which manages to pay homage to both its rally car cousin, the Fiesta WRC, and its big brother, the Focus ST.
“The Fiesta ST Concept shows in the most dramatic way possible that the qualities that define an ST are not limited to one model. The potential for delivering the ST experience to an even wider audience are laid bare by this striking new concept,” said Jost Capito, Ford’s director of Global Performance Vehicles.

2011 Hyundai Elantra.

When Hyundai debuted the swoopy new 2011 Elantra, we were told that a hatchback-shaped Touring model would be coming down the pipeline, and since the last-generation model was nearly identical to the then-current i30 sold overseas, it would only make sense that this new five-door will make its way Stateside at some point (albeit with the necessary Europe-to-America adjustments). And might we say, she's quite unique looking, with a distinct bow-element grille and mirroring lower fascia.
Mum's the word on what sort of powertrains lie under the hood, and we'd really like to see what that rear hatch looks like, but we'll have those details within the next couple of days, as Hyundai is set to debut the all-new i30 at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week. We're confident it'll fit right in with the plethora of diesel-powered hatches that fill the streets of Europe, and we're eager to see if it shows up Stateside.
Hyundai Grills bring up the entire picture with an infusion of contemporary luxury and personal style. There is always an element of surprise when drivers add modifications to their rides.
