Verve: Ford Reveals Small-Car Vision for North America

[MKSowner]

Looks COOL!

One other possible criticism is the bulbous area between the headlights and the A pillar. Unless that is to increase the aerodynamics of the car, ditch it.

I also noticed something that looks like Volvo's Geartronic Automatic transmission with manual override. Any chance the new 2010 Focus will get that?

This is the platform in which Ford will be introducing the European Focus(C1 platform)to North America, supposedly in 2010, as a new Ford Focus. Suffice it to say, this is merely a concept, so you will probably see some changes to its looks, based on results of customer surveys. The platform is currently used in North America in the Mazda 3 & 5, Volvo C30, S40, & C70.

Ford, whatever you do, ditch the red-pink gauge lights. Pontiac tried them 20 years ago & they sucked. Otherwise, me like lots!

hurry and make this car...we need it bad

the new civic is sooo ugly and rides like a horse and buggy..the corolla is even worse

[AdrianBlayze]

I agree. We need cars that look this good and get good fuel economy here in the U.S.A.

[joh2]

An interesting approach - will this model likely slot in below Focus...

a roda deveria ser maior

Why are small Fords in Europe so much better looking than the American versions? The Focus sold in England looks fantastic, while the U.S. Focus looks almost as dull as this car. I don't want a Mustang or some giant gas-pig. I want an attractive small car.

[tony76ms]

it is a small attractive car that looks better than a focus. what are you freakin blind moron.

[tctman9]

Yea I saw a lot of fords on TV released in Europe that looked way better than their American counterparts.And as far a mustangs go I hate them.

I also think the focus sold in England cost's something like $30K has 5 engine opions and 4 thansmition opions.
