In this episode I provide the history of the Ford Festiva, and its short-lived follow-up, the Aspire. It was the follow-up to Ford's last mini-subcompact, the Fiesta, which ended imports into America by 1981. The Festiva was launched in 1986 and reached North America by late 1987. It was designed by Mazda, based on their 121 model, and built by Kia Motors in South Korea. Smaller than the Ford Escort, it competed with the cheapest cars on the market, but eventually gained a reputation as being too cheap, resulting in its cancellation by 1997.
