WATCH FORD’S NUEVO FIESTA’S AMBIENT LIGHTING

Some 15% of the U.S. population is Latino. Whether, in Stephen Colbert’s words, you see colour or not, Ford Motor Company wants to advertise more directly to Spanish-speaking people in the United States. One way to do so is with the lovely little YouTube clip you can Watch below. The Good Car Guy’s Spanish is limited to ordering a Coca-Cola in Nayarit convenience stores, usually with assistance from a Spanish-speaking nephew or niece beside me. However, I can dig great interior lighting. And great interior lighting is present and accounted for in Ford’s new Fiesta. Rather, Ford’s nuevo Fiesta.
