Link to video, it's worth a watch not only for some Fords but a neat little history of Top Gear magazine itself:

It's a real shame the US market didn't get to see many of the cool Fords that Europe got, but at least we got the MK7 Fiesta ST and for that I am very happy to see it included on a list of great cars. It really is such a good car, most certainly the best car I have owned.

That's pretty darn cool!

Recently, I visited a museum in Michigan, and one of the motorcycles I own was on display as a collector-worthy machine, and now this!

Actually, the reason I even went to look at a Fiesta ST in the first place was after Richard Hammond wrung the snot out of one in a 2014 Top Gear episode, and basically said "If you're poor but want to go fast, turn good and stop, go buy this car." So I did.

OMG the Pontiac Aztec had an affair with an Italian mistress...

Wait... the Fiesta ST is on the same list as that Fiat abonination?
I might have to sell my car now.
