It seems like Ford is going to let it go here.
I agree.

The Fiesta name, like the Focus and EcoSport, has been severely tarnished by the whole Powershift debacle. Its reputation in the market is poison to the Ford brand and as such it appears as if they have given up on it. At the end of the day Ford are much more interested in selling, like other brands as well, overpriced body on frame dual cab pickup trucks at massively high profit margins.

Put it this way, if Ford were serious about selling the next gen Fiesta in Australia, they would have already started ramping up interest for it by now. The silence on it is VERY telling.
