The marketeers at Ford Brazil have scratched their heads, realized that sporty and Fiesta go hand in hand and presented a nicely kitted-up edition of the Ford Fiesta in Brazil.
Yes, the Figo is sold as the Fiesta in Brazil and it looks a little odd for Indian taste. The Fiesta Storm edition includes a rear spoiler, rear and side protectors, tinted windows, roof-mounted luggage carrier and body decals. This is an aesthetic makeover and there are no changes present under the bonnet. The Fiesta Storm can be bought with 1L or a 1.6L petrol engine.

if figo is called as fiesta then what is fiesta called as ?figo?
Not petrol. The engines are flexfuel, capable of functioning with 100% bioethanol. Petrol in Brazil has 20% of alcohol in its composition, per Government regulations.
Brazilians like this type of cars. The VW Fox, Gol and Spacefox, Fiat New Uno, Palio Weekend, Doblo and Idea MPV, Citroen C3 and C3 Picasso and Renault Sandero all have versions with fake-UV styling.
A pathetic attempt at makeover is my initial feeling.
Front does not look anyway better than present one.in fact it looks worse.
