today the neighbour came home with a new ford eco-sport,i saw them pull up as i was just going out and i said to them 'nice fiesta mate' he said 'it's an eco-sport' i said 'no it's a fiesta' he said 'it's a eco-sport....i then began to explain it's basically a fiesta on stilt's and the same car

....it took a while for him to believe me though

Never heard of it so just looked it up on the Ford Website. Good grief, ugly anonymous box. Inside is awful as well. Can't be very comfortable.

Just think how many Rover V8s one could get for the price of on of those . . . .

Wonderful

another set of high level headlights on the road to blind you in the rear view mirror.

Not quite as bad as the Nissan Puke but not far off.

Horrible thing

Send your neighbour my commiserations

Can't help thinking that 'Eco Sport' is a contradiction in terms

I'd not heard of it either so I googled it and found this Autoexpress report.
