What is reported to be the coming <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/06/u-s-spec-ford-fiesta-to-debut-at-la-auto-show/">U.S.-spec Ford Fiesta</a> has been photographed during assembly in Mexico, and the minor changes we can glean so far center around the grille. Compared to its European counterpart, the American version gets a much chunkier front end which has pushed the leading edge of the hood back. The Ford emblem is now completely surrounded by the front clip.<br />
<br />
Below that, the central opening is larger, ringed with chrome, and the bisecting bar on the Euro version has been moved up and fitted with a U.S. license plate holder. Outside, the single fog light has been reworked into a giant, glass covered alien eye. Make no mistake - it's still hot, and we still can't wait to see it when it's unveiled at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/L-A--Auto-Show/">LA Auto Show</a> next month.<br />
