Mazda2

Doesn't look as practical as the Fit, but it looks soooo much nicer. I hope Ford's gonna take advantage of this car, and send something statewise, either the Mazda, a Ford version, or maybe even both.

Mazda was indeed tasked with developing Ford's new 'global' B car. What you see here should be the basis for the next Fiesta.

Ummmm, I thought this was essentially the basis of the forthcoming Fiesta, Ford's new global B-Class car?

On the same platform in Europe you have the new Ford Fiesta....

With the 1300 cm3 86 HP you have 52 mpg
With the 1500 ccm3 105 HP you have 47 mpg
