Hi All,
Because i'm planning to purchase an LX when the good old Laser is nearly running out of rego, i wonder how much stock there is of the Fiesta. I plan to buy an LX in Sub-Lime, so if there is an waiting period, i might have to visit the dealer a bit earlier. Regards, Rob |

I think the LX isn't so bad. The Zetec however has quite a large wait. I remember early November was quoted when my cousin was looking back in late September.
With Sub-Lime, I'd make sure you view the colour on the car before deciding to go ahead.

Well, I waited 1 week for my WQ LX. If you're not opting for those unnecessary add-ons, it wouldnt take long for it to be delivered!

The number of ppl owning a Fiesta increases in general, I see more n more people driving Fiestas whether it's LX, Zetec or Ghia (Why... just why buy a Ghia)
I saw a WQ Zetec in Panther Black in the area, and it looks great! I also came across an exact same car as mine yesterday.... waved at the driver |

Even here in Perth i have been seeing heaps.
Its not a surprise they are alot more fez's on the road. Considering the competition, pricing and package u get are far so superior to any competitor, those germans are dam sexy ;) |

Yeah, I bought Sub Lime sight unseen, but it's certainly grown on me. I didn't think it was available on Zetecs though...
If you want any pics, send me a PM.

Hi, It is available on the '06 models. The only colour not available on the Zetec is Colorado Red. Thanks for your thoughts about Sub-Lime. Regards, Rob |

And, no Clio this year. Rob, I'd have to disagree with you. That colour was ugly. What the hell is with aqua? :jab:

DAMO, are you saying that the green in your picture is the same as the 5door? Because, I don't think so. But then, if you aren't... it's 3 new colours then, not 2. Does your brother work in Real Estate Damo?

Did anyone (Teki or Ivan) take a photo of the Fiesta Colour display at the Motor Show, as it will confirm what will and when be available. I was too busy with the glove box.....

No, unfortunately I didnt take pics of the Fez colour display. :/ Hmm what could be interesting about Fiesta's glove boxes. But I know that with the green Fiesta, someone had to wait 30 minutes before he/she can play around with the head-unit.
