Well the Concept looks real nice but let's see how much of it translates to the production version & more importantly what version we get in our market, if we do get it at all that is.

Ford's new design language seems to be working well. But if the production car looks anything like the concept, i wonder what the sedan version would look like...

Ford Europe's design language is good unlike the ford NA which brings out boring designs... ford fiesta is a good car n hope this future fiesta comes to india... just bothered if this can be in an affordable price range, if it comes...

guys the concept looks really nice. but it is a coupe. we would be getting a four door version and how good would the production car be from the concept. what would be the engine specifications and the priceing and if it does even come to india

Typically concepts are not known to find their way into developing markets within 2 years of their showcasing.

Even if this concept broke the mould, Ford India would have a trying time fitting this into their existing product lineup

GeekSrik · 26th August 2007, 22:57

good design. i like the front end! its more or less like punto very jazzy. from the pic i see a two door so is that coming down to india? whatever ford brings in, i believe they must change their customer attitude a bit to regain their ratings on jd customer satisfaction survey once again.

danlalan · 27th August 2007, 00:24

The design is pretty cool..except for that large grille...looks awfull.iam sure that would change coming to india

tez · 27th August 2007, 13:42

looks like a coupe... its time some one introduces atleast a 2 door in india

CrAzY dRiVeR · 29th August 2007, 22:47

Dont think it will come to India as a hatch!

But... Our next Fiesta (if it happens) could be the sedan version of the Verve!

speedzak · 29th August 2007, 23:43

This is what happens when you mix a ford with Aston!
Naah!! Too dim chances of this being a small car in India. It would be the next version of Fiesta or maybe launched even higher. Fusion may be reconsidered too.

Very unlikely that this will make it to India so soon. We havn't yet got a spy pic so far.

Maybe they will launch the Ikon based hatch with the Verve name, which might have confused the reporter.

benbsb29 · 30th August 2007, 13:08

I dont think Ford's small car for India is going to be this radical. I feel its going to be based on the Ikon platform, rather than the Fiesta's.

sathya_nars · 30th August 2007, 13:28

Cool look, will definitely seem like a car of future. But if it is based on Ikon platform not Fiesta, it is not good IMHO.
