<p>China will undoubtedly be an important market for the new Ford Fiesta. Originally unveiled in European spec at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-new-ford-fiesta/">Geneva Motor Show</a> last month, the Chinese version has just made its debut this week at the Auto China show in Beijing. The Chinese Fiesta is scheduled begin production before the end of the year at Ford's $510 million Changan Ford Mazda Automobile (CFMA) plant in Nanjing, China. </p>
<p>Styling is by and large the same as its European counterpart, only the Beijing show car, displayed in S trim, features a sportier, more aggressive trim package that could preview what a future hot-hatch Fiesta ST or RS could look like. Did Ford hit the sweet spot in Geneva or in Beijing? Take a look at the Chinese and European versions in the galleries below and share your thoughts in the comments.</p>
