The Official Email

This is the email that I received from Ford Mission Control:

"Thanks for your interest in The Fiesta Movement! As you probably know by now, we received over 4,000 entries! We have been very busy culling through all of the submissions and the competition was stiff!  We have finally chosen our 100 Fiesta Movement Agents and unfortunately we are not able to offer you one of the positions at this time.

In the end, Agents were chosen for a variety of reasons. In keeping with what we set out to do with the Movement, we wanted to make sure we did a thorough job of different kinds of Agents from across the US who spend time in a variety of social network channel. That being said, we had to spread our 100 Fiestas to everyone from bloggers, to YouTube stars, Twitterati, Flickr fiends and most importantly, some really engaging people who we thought would have a great story to tell if we let them.  On top of that, we wanted our voice to stretch far and wide, so we made it a point to spread our Fiestas throughout as much of the country as possible.

However, there are still opportunities for you to get behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta and let us know what you think.  As part of the Movement, we will be taking global Fiestas across the US for the next  several months, stopping at key events and everyday locations to allow people to connect with the Movement & test drive the vehicles for themselves.  For more information you can find a calendar with our whereabouts on FiestaMovement.com (coming in early May), as well as the full content stream from the Movement. 

Thanks again for your interest in the Fiesta Movement, we truly enjoyed and appreciated your submission."

Time to Cry

Well I didn't get picked, but I encourage all to follow those that did at www.fiestamovement.com

Selection is Done!

Just got an email from @FordFiesta on Twitter,

"The selection is done; we're working on background checks & notification. More info in the next day or 2."

I suppose there's still a chance, since they say they're working on both background checks AND notifications. Next day or 2 eh, I think I can hold it 'til then. We'll see.

Can't Hold It!!!!

So it looks like the guys picking THE guys/agents for the Fiesta Movement aren't done yet. I tweeted the @FordFiesta to see if they were done and the response I got was,

"we cant say anything about where we are in the selection process until all 100 drivers are contacted/secured. srry, but we are almost there!"

So it looks like I still might have the opportunity to pee my pants if they call me to be an agent. I encourage all of you to invest in Depends adult diapers... their stock is going to sky-rocket if I'm selected.

Jalopnik's Review of the Fiesta

These positive reviews on the 2011 Fiesta seem like an epide... like a movment.


"Want a small, cheap, fun-to-drive, economical, practical car? Right now there's not many choices at all and none if you want to buy American. The Ford Fiesta will change that."

Autoblog's Take

Here's a schnazzy article put together by the folks at Autoblog:


"Those Fiesta Movement "agents" who delivered winning videos to Ford? Envy them, because the cars they're being handed the keys to for the next six months are no joke. Yesterday morning, Ford tossed us a set of those keys (well, it was a key fob, actually) to a reactor-leak green Ford Fiesta. We only had an hour to play with the car, but by the end of it, we were wishing we had busted out the camcorder for the contest."

Sssshhhh, be verwy verwy quiet!!

Sooo, all seems quiet on the Fiesta front. There has been no official finalization on selecting agents for the Fiesta Movement. I'm wondering if there were that many people that they initially selected who eventually didn't qualify as a result of the background check or maybe a phone interview. Maybe they HAVE already selected the 100 and their just getting their material together to make an official statement. Which ever way the ball rolls, good luck to all that have been selected. Brace yourself for the prelude to the tears of non-joy... ok that didn't work.

95%

Well, according to Sam De La Garza, the Ford Focus and Fiesta Brand Manger, they've called 95% of the Fiesta Movement winners. Which pretty much means that they've got 5 more people to call. Who wants to bet that I might be one of them? Anyone?
