Looks like a smushed Fiesta . . . which isn't bad, but the above looks like a chop.

New Fiesta and Ka just look so much like Peugeot, especially front end.

i think if you stretch the front out, it may look a tad bit like an aston (just the front, not the rest). and by stretch, i mean WAAAAAAY out.

The rear actually looks much better than the Fiesta's IMO.

old Ka:

new Ka:

I don't know; I think I like the old one better, it was simple and clean; this new one seems overwrought for a small car, with too many creases and lines, like they were trying to put every new Ford design cue onto a tiny canvas.

The new one looks much better - the "creases and lines" break the surface tension by add sculpting and sophistication to a budget vehicle.

Very nice indeed. MUCH nicer than the 'closet on wheels' Smart car.

Front end looks a little too "busy", but looks good overall.

While I am a fan of the Fiesta's styling I have to agree with Vermillion, I don't think it translates well here giving the Ka a bloated/out of proportion appearance.
