Ford Reveals Small-Car Vision for North America at Detroit: Verve Sedan Concept

So it's going to be a Fiesta-based Mondeo-looking hatch. Ford Europe's usually good at designing interiors, but this cockpit looks like a satanic altar (ew).

Ford bring it on! as euro expat I am stunned from seeng and driving euro versions when I am over there. Coming back to the states where so much more of your live is involving the use of a car - you get latter frame layouts, first gen focuses and bold american styling and driving mannors that are just putting the sheer existence Ford to question. Why not use it when its available, even the hill billies aren't buying in anymore and go get a Toyota. The world is flat!

It's "ladder", not "latter"; "life", not "live". The only cars to use "ladder frames" - in fact, the only American cars to use frames instead of inherently unsafe Unibody construction at all, (aside from a few spaceframe vehicles,) are the Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis/Towne Car. Otherwise, the safety of a full-frame vehicle can only be found in trucks. As for European styling: we don't like it here because most of it's either just plain butt-ugly and/or ridiculous-looking. This car is rather fugly and I'd never buy one, even though I bleed Ford blue. Oh, BTW: "hillbillies" is one word, not two, and specifically refers to "a Michigan potato farmer". Look it up.

NICE! Looks like Ford of North America may be finally embracing the European design philosophy. This reminds me a great deal of the Iosis concept and the European Ford Mondeo. I also love the super futuristic interior.
