To-do list for Ford Fiesta:

The first section says in 2008 the seventh-generation Fiesta was "introduced worldwide, making it the first Fiesta model to be sold in North America" etc. But the article says the Fiesta VII was introduced in Germany in 2016, and the subhead says 2017, which I guess is the model-year. The date in the lead is clearly wrong, but I don't know how to correct it. If I just change it to 2016 in the lead, there's still the inconsistency of where it was introduced and when. As a casual reader of the article, I'm going to leave it to others to correct.
This article has bizarrely excessive detail. Kirkpete ( talk) 16:41, 28 October 2018 (UTC) Kirkpete
It has been suggested that this section be
split out into another page titled
Ford Fiesta (fifth generation). (

Any discussion that this "flag" generated at the time seems to have disappeared into an archive somewhere, but:

In the Sixth generation-section, in the Facelift-subsection, it is said that the new facelift-version of Ford Fiesta (the mark 7.5 in UK or 2014 Ford Fiesta in USA) was introduced at Torino Motor Show in June. I am not sure such a motor show exists. Apparently the Turin Auto show is a real thing, but it was not arranged for years 2001-2014, which just the time when facelift Ford Fiesta would have been introduced. The Torino Motor Show also exists, but it is a race-event and probably not an event where you present new cars.
I have found information that says that the facelift deputed in Paris Motor Show in late September of 2012. So is the "Torino Motor Show in June"-reference a mistake?
I don't think there should be full infoboxes on this page when the same info exists on the generational page, e.g. Ford Fiesta (fifth generation). It adds white space to the condensed sections, and duplicates info so infobox changes have to be made to two different pages. I propose removing all text from the infoboxes (except 7th generation which does not yet have a separate page) except production years and possibly platform and/or body style. Photos can remain. Any objections? -- Vossanova o< 15:47, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
The section on Mark II starting with “A truly "hot" Fiesta was never produced…” is exactly the same as found on https://classiccars.fandom.com/wiki/Ford_Fiesta. I don’t know if there is cross-licensing or which site is the original. Just pointing this out since I was searching for some info on the subject and had a déja vu moment.
