Another incredibly good-looking car. It's amazing how car makers are able to make such marvelous cars, but at the same time some can build horrendous cars. Ford has really dome a nice job with this car, and with it being released in the United States, we also benefit. This model is made in Mexico, which means it will arrive in Brazil without paying any importing taxes at all.
The Fiesta will be available in Hatchback and Sedan versions, but I chose only to put pictures of the Hatchback because I think it looks better. In total, it will have 3 different trim levels, and many color options. There won't be any engine choice, since all models will have the 1.6 liter engine delivering 119hp, but the buyer will be able to choose between a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. 
To me the best feature of this car isn't one of its technical specs, but its price. It starts at around US$ 13'ooo in the United States, which is incredibly good value for such a beautiful car. I'm trying to convince my father to buy me one when I go study in the United States. At least he won't be able to say that costs are too high.
As it was already introduced in the last post, Fiat recently announced the totally-redesigned Uno model for the Brazilian market. Now, this post highlights the regular versions, its specs and its prices.
The above model is the Vivace. It is the simplest in the range. It has black front-and-rear bumpers, and black doorhandles and side mirrors. This version has 13" wheels, and Fiat believes it will be the top-selling version of the Uno range. Tis version starts at R$25'500 for the two-door, and R$27'350 for the four-door, and both come with a 1.0 liter engine.
This yellow model is the Attractive version. It is the top-of-the-range non-"adventurous" model. It comes with 14" wheels, many storage compartments, including on the car's doors and on the car's central console. All bumpers, doorhandles and side mirrors are painted in the body color, and prices start from R$29'280 for the two-door and R$ 31'080 for the four-door. This trim level is only available with a 1.4 liter engine.
Finally, this is the Way version. It is the "adventurous" trim level of the Uno. It comes standard with off-road "accessories," such as the black bumpers, black mudguards and black roof rails. The interior has special fabrics on the seats, and the standard equipment is the same as the Attractive model. This trim level is the only one in which the buyer can have an engine choice, either the 1.0 or the 1.4 liter engines. The prices for the two-doors start from R$26'690 for the 1.0 and R$30'070 for the 1.4, and the four-doors start from R$28'490 for the 1.0 and R$31'870 for the 1.4.
The "Ecology Concept" does not fit any ground-breaking technology, like the American and European carmakers do in their home countries. Instead, it proposes simple technologies that can make a car more efficient, and are not expensive to implant in production models. It features a start-stop system, which shuts down the engine at speeds below 3km/h and switches it back on as the driver takes its foot off the brakes.
The first update it did was announce an extra 8-horsepower for the V6 engine, with a total of 312 hp. The Mustang has 305 hp in its V6 version, and before the change, the camaro had 304. Now, GM can claim that their car is more powerful, even though they only made changes on the elctric unit that controls fuel injection. This difference will also probably not be felt by most drivers, since 8hp isn't much to consider a car much faster or slower than another. 
The second change, and the one I most like, is the new color that is available, the Synergy Green, just as is seen in the first picture. My favorite color is green, and I would love to have a Synergy Green Camaro, may it be the V6 or the V8 model. However, GM has announced that it will only be a limited-run, so there will only be a limited number of Synergy Green Camaros on the streets. What a shame.
