Ford Europe has revealed another couple of photos of its upcoming
2009 Ford Ka supermini. Set to be unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the new
Ka will share its platform with the
2008 Fiat 500 and will be built at the same plant in Tychy, Poland.
Although
Ford's European design bureau is known for such design masterpieces as the new
Mondeo and
Focus, it looks like this time something went totally wrong there. Trying to differentiate the
Ka from its Italian sibling,
Ford's designers produced some kind of a baby Frankenstein with rear lights outsourced from
Daewoo Matiz /
Chevrolet Spark, rear windows from the
Opel Corsa, wheel arches from the
2009 Mercedes ML, and the front from the
Ford Fiesta. Yawn.
The car will be equipped with the same 1.25-liter petrol and a 1.3-liter Multijet diesel the
Fiat 500 is motivated with, but the powerplants will probably feature different power rating.
