2008 Ford Ka

Small and with a Ford face, that must be a CGI of the new Ka. This small car joins one of the fastest growing segments in Europe fighting the infamous triplets (C1/107/Aygo), the new Twingo and the Fiat 500. The Fiat 500 will be a twin model of the Ka being both based in the same platform in a joint development and manufacturing program of Fiat and Ford. Incidentally, the European market and the small car segment seem to be popular for collaborations between different manufacturers... we have the PSA/Toyota job on the triplets and now the Fiat/Ford partnership for the Ka/500. A future trend for other market segments and manufacturers?... In any case the Ka will have a hard time in the market particularly considering the success of established players like the triplets and the supe-cute and iconic status that the Fiat 500 will have.

Don't worry that is NOT what the Ka will look like, therefore I suggest your cock is NOT a kipper :)

its a ford, so its bound to be badly engineered and sell like hot cakes..they say one is born everyday......

IF it resembles ANY future Ford, it's more likely to be a Fiesta.
Personally, I reckon someone's just photoshopped S-Max bits onto a pic of some other car (the taillamps are just wrong).

Actually Fords are well engineered these days and people should forget the old saying "fixed or repaired daily" I've had a few now and they have been very reliable unlike a Vauxhall and VW I had. Ford have moved on enormously and to be honest they're the best driving cars I've owned? Look at the new Mondeo, bloody great car and the best in class!!!

Some people are so narrow minded! Ford are building some of the best cars on the market, the New Mondeo is blowing the competition out of the water, the Focus voted the most reliable 3 year old car, the Fiesta following suit. Long gone are the days of the 'Dagenham Dustbin'. Oh, and the Mondeo and S-max (plus the other new models) designed by someone who designed Audi's!
