DRyanC Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Anyone have news on a B-segment from Ford? I see Mexico has a bas Ka for $9,500 CDN converted. Where are the cars like that for us. All I want is something small to drive around town. I am currently in the market for a second car and would like something cheap, small and very good on fuel. I already have a ZX3 but would like somthing that gets better mileage. I keep thinking about a focus wagon but I hate the seats in a non ZX3 or 5 focus, might as well be a piece of card board folded at 90deg. Then I would like to have the 2.0 duratorq diesel with the six speed that over seas get. The new Honda Fit comes out soon but too expensive, check the American prices. A base Yaris from Toyota doesn't come with 60/40 split back seats. I haven't been able to find any Canadian news on a Mazda2. So again I must ask, wheres my Ka? Thanks DRyanC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks DRyanC The States needs a B-Car also. To bad they have only realized it now. You will still have to wait a little longer. NA also needs the Fusion ( Smaller Escape ) sold everywhere else in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

666COS Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 i have seen a couple new Ford Ka's running around Vancouver BC, probabbly private imports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
156n3rd Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The Nissan Versa looks like a good unit in many ways. Not the answer for every concern mind you, but a well thought out example of what's on the way. I'd love to see a funky sort of PTC, but with real Ford styling not a copy. Yes, you will say that it's niche, been done, who care? This is a wish, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Rignht now you can get a Focus for the price of a B segment.. You can argue whether that is a good thing or a bad thing. The B segments were due out this or next Fall, but Edmunds reported in january they got pushed back a year... there should be 2-3 of them: Fiesta and Bronco are sure. Ford was still said to be contemplating the reflex, but for a while there was no news.... so we will have to see... Ford will be behind the game, so their offerings better be good.

cdnsfan27 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I was in Mexico last month and was very impressed by the Fiesta and the Ecosport. If we could get these cars in the US and Canada we could kick some Jap ass. Come on Ford...time to fight back. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
