The interesting thing is though, I drove those Hardbodies from 1991 to 2005, 14-years, and although Nissan claims the Frontier is a mid-size, it honestly does not feel much different.
What I'm trying to say is, the difference from a small truck to a mid-size truck is tiny, in fact the 2009 Tacoma Xtracab I test drove felt tighter and smaller than my 1986.5 Nissan King Cab

Interesting the Fiesta. That is a redesign, right? The other day I was on Veho's site and they are no longer listing a 3 door Focus. Did Ford drop the 3dr for the new Focus? The ecoboost is only listed as being 1.6 and I am sure a few months ago when they listed a 3dr the engines available included a 2liter or larger choice.
BTW made a mistake on the Punto spec... the engine is 1.1 L not 1.6 plus it's a 1996. Still a great first car.

The Focus 2.0 will deliver 247 hp and 266 ft-lbs
The Fiesta is rumored to be in the 180 hp range
The Fiesta and the Focus are both basically all new designs within the past 2-years
The Fiesta is only a 4-door and a 5-door right now state side, but the rumor mill keeps cranking away on a 3-door, and us getting it
The Focus is only a 4-door and a 5-door right now state side, but there is no rumor a 3-door will be made
