I remember the Aspire, which was pretty much a clone to a Kia vehicle (which Ford owned a certain percentage of, at the time). The Fiesta wouldn't necessarily need to be spartan either. In Europe it does quite well and depending upon trim level, can be nicely appointed. For US versions, they really just need to concentrate on suspension tuning, and maybe improve the NVH a bit. But these are items that are easily altered with minimal investment. Again, if it's manufactured in another country. Don't expect Ford to bring over the KA though.... |

Here's a hint of the future... http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=101402 Source: Autoweek.com |

Ford will be displaying a concept vehicle in the NAIAS named Synus. It's a concept vehicle for an entry level vehicle Ford is planning. Known as the B-Segment, the platform will be developed by Mazda for the B-Segment worldwide. Ford is using this platform for this concept vehicle. A vehicle is needed under the Focus, to introduce a younger demographic into the brand, and push the Focus upwards in space and pricing. With Honda publically stating they wished to introduce a vehicle under the Civic, Ford is also wanting to take the same route. The Synus in essense seems to be a Scion xB looking vehicle. I've started a forum named Ford Synus, to further discuss this vehicle since it's now official and safe to do so. |
