Ford
has finally made it official: the upcoming Fiesta for the North
American market will be built at the company's assembly plant in
Cuautitlán, Mexico. Job 1 for Ford's new B-class car will be coming up
in early 2010. The plant near Mexico City currently builds F-Series
pickups for the Mexican market and will be re-tooled starting later
this year after production of the current generation trucks winds down.
Once the revamp of the factory is complete, it will supply Fiestas for
all North American markets. As part of the announcement, Ford also
confirmed that U.S. customers will also get three body flavors of the
Fiesta to choose from. In addition to the originally planned four-door
sedan, we will indeed get both the three- and five-door hatchbacks. No
word yet on which powertrains we'll get for the Fiesta.
Ford
also announced that the Chihuahua Engine Plant that builds four
cylinder engines right now will add a new line to produce diesels for
the light and medium duty trucks. This would be the 4.4L diesel V8 that
is being added to the F-Series lineup next year.
