Social media is everywhere these days and unless you’ve failed to notice, the folks at Ford have leveraged these tools very well with respect to the impending stateside launch of the 2011 Ford Fiesta.  Users from the likes of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, et al, have all been witness to the affordable tuner car that will be via the Fiesta Movement.  So what; big deal.  Lots of tech behind it, in it, and wait–yes, offering freebies because of it.  Ford is taking it one step further and offering a free SYNC entertainment system upgrade (a value of $700) to Ford Fiesta customers who make their reservations online or via text messaging (SMS) before April 2, 2010.

While the deliveries for the 2011 Ford Fiesta aren’t slated until sometime this summer, Ford is letting us get our hands on options, trims, and pricing very soon; orders will start being accepted this coming Monday!  Over 6,000 people have already put reservations in on the new little tuner car before the ordering date was even established.  That’s pretty exciting to say the least.  What’s more interesting is the fact that there are well over 100,000 people coined as handraisers–those claiming a strong interest in the new fuel-efficient, tech-ladenFord offering.
