2008

The Fiesta was redesigned, marking the company's switch from "new edge" to "kinetic" design.


The Escape was redesigned with a stylish new body and a 6 speed automatic transmission.

2008 saw gas prices rise to over $4 per gallon as well as the economy being plunged into the worst crisis since the Great Depression. Both of these were bad news for car sales.
