Ford says it's begun production of its new subcompact Fiesta at a German plant. The vehicle is the first product to come out of the Dearborn automaker's new global development process. It aims to produce global models that are tailored to regional tastes but have the same underpinnings. The new Fiesta is set to go on sale in stages between now and 2010, starting in Europe. Ford last month announced plans to retool two U.S. truck factories in Michigan and Kentucky to make global vehicles off the European Focus platform.
