I have always wondered why...why...why can't they bring that car back?

Hey...here's a thought?
How 'bout this Fiesta; sure looks like the modern version.

** UPDATE; she be comin' **
The 115-hp, 1.6-liter engine, for example, is good for 120 mph, 0 to 62 mph in 9.9 seconds and about 40 mpg. That's quicker than a Toyota Prius and not far off its fuel economy
