Ford Is Officially Scrapping Its Three-Door Fiesta

Simplifying the Line-Up
A spokesman for Ford mentioned that the end of the three-door Fiesta was a product of simplification. They said, “Ford is simplifying the Fiesta line-up by focusing on series, packs, and features that customers want – and discontinuing the ones that are less in demand.
