Shame it can't be a bigger display but not touch screen, such as in the polo gti

It is touchscreen in the polo, just you can use the knob/wheel instead unless that's what you meant.

Yeah that's what I meant, not a full touchscreen, can use the bottom instead

The Fiesta ST has been such a big seller for Ford, much more than previous generations.

They'd be stupid to leave too much of a gap in production. I'm expecting no more than 6 months, so by the end of next year.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's announced alongside or within 3 months of the base car.

Spy shots have already been spotted of the ST so its not like they haven't been getting it ready :)

I hope you are right I really do

If anyone follows Supercars of London he's just posted on his instagram (wallacepjw) that the new Ford Fiesta ST is at the Ford Europe Go further event which he's attending so maybe we won't have to wait very long at all!

Typical even Ford's own version of it is useless, Thanks Alex.

I want one, now.

Was never gunna happen tonight 

Hopefully we'll know in the next few months what's happening with the ST.

I'll be paying close attention to the media pages :D

Hopefully they will release more details in general soon about prices, engines, colours, release date etc 

ST-Line interior looks good with the red accents, hopefully they'll do something similar on the ST.

Re-sized as the original is 35mb odd, lol.

Chunky steering wheel but very Clio/208 like touchscreen 

Same as the facelift ecosport.

The st line acctually looks a fair amount different from the normal fiestas this time around. Interior looks pretty good. Kind of wish the screen was built into the dash more, say like the a3 or 1 series. Rather than the French style

I don't normally like the tablet stuck to the dash "look", but that said they had criticism for a bulky dash before, and I can't see the point of it being down at knee level.

Much better to have it high up where you can safely glance at it.

Also press pics all here now:

Looks like it has a push button start, its hope that's standard 

They mentioned that ST-Line now has rear discs all round.

They also mentioned 6 speed gearbox now.

So 140PS plus 6 speed gearbox and all round discs is eating in to what makes the Fiesta ST special.

Can't wait to see what they do to make it even more special.....

Its interesting that all 4 models look different from the front so it's easy to tell the models apart and no doubt the ST will be different again...

 

Hopefully they've sorted security out aswell!
