Probably because the Fiesta is new to the U.S., and therefore it's natural to compare it to other cars in its class. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and even Hyundai all have good records for making subcompacts, and small cars.
Ford's record is pathetic. Remember the Aspire? GM's record is awful, too. The Aveo? Come on. You almost have to talk about Toyota and other foreign cars. The following words come from a long running series of books called Lemon-Aid. "Ford has never had a successful European transplant in North America."

Yeah, because no one ever talks about domestic cars on Toyota threads now do they?
And sorry, but EVERY source known to man says imports dominate over domestics, and anyone I have known that has owned both, has personally had better luck with imports, including myself. And to top it off, imports hold their value better, unless you watch Ford's commercials that is. Yeah, forecasted value... that has a lot to do with reality.
