Ford might start sellling fiesta hatchback by the end-2009 and will compete with Skoda Fabia and upcoming Honda’s Jazz, including brands such as the Getz and the Alto. Ford is currently involved in early vendor identification for the project, which it is betting will bring in much needed volumes.  Ford’s overseas Fiesta model is one of the most successful small cars sold in the world, with sales of more than 11 million in seven generations since its launch in 1976. It is different from the Fiesta the company sells here, which is a sedan.
