They were great cars imported from Europe and very popular. Ford introduced it in a huge rush to replace the Pinto after the exploding-Pinto scandal killed that nameplate, and the new US-spec Escort wasn’t ready yet. Then when they launched the Escort they pulled the plug on the Fiesta. The Escort was a worse car in every way.

If I could nominate a SLICE of another state I would say the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Durable, happy people that resemble Vermonters in some ways, Lake Superior is gorgeous, and Marquette reminds me of Burlington, energy-wise. But the main “mitten” part of Michigan is kind of woolly — right-wing militias, etc.
