The new 2011 Ford Fiesta is one of this year's Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000, according to editors of Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, who describe Ford's new small car as "better looking, nicer inside and even more fun" than the Honda Fit - one of Fiesta's main competitors. Cars making the 2010 list were chosen based on safety, fuel economy, interior size, comfort and technology. They also were judged on fun-to-own and fun-to-drive factors - which kbb.com calls that "je ne sais quoi that separates the dullards from the brilliant."

Dear Honda Fit: We still really, really like you, and you're still one of the 10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000, but we've met someone better looking, nicer inside and even more fun. The 2011 Ford Fiesta isn't just the best domestic sub-compact of all time (which isn't saying much, frankly), the new kid is already the coolest car in its class.
