What's Wrong With This Picture: The Four-Season Fiesta Edition
Via Autocar come these pictures of a jacked-up Fiesta variant undergoing development testing. Rumors of a Fiesta-based MPV have been rampant, as European competitors have been bombarding the B-segment with bigger, and/or butched-up new models like Kia’s Venga (and it’s forthcoming sibling, the Hyundai ix20), Opel’s suicide-doored Meriva, Toyota’s Verso S,and VW’s PoloCross. Ford’s Fiesta-based entry could resemble the brand’s Iosis-Max concept, and it will probably be built in Romania. Based on the dearth of camouflage, we’d also guess it’s going for the “butch” more than the “big” section of the B segment. Needless to say, it’s unlikely to ever arrive in the US, where the idea of taking a B-segment hatch into the dirt occurs only to the desperately unwell.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ford released an updated Fusion at some point... no... not THAT Fusion... it's a lucrative market... people who want the elevated view and the perceived go-anywhere abilities (note: perceived) of SUVs without the high entry price or fuel bills...
Like the new Kia Sportage, I believe the term "cuteasaurus" applies to this mule.
