Ford Europe has revealed another couple of photos of its upcoming 2009 Ford Ka compact hatchback.
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.
