The Verve is the new Fiesta apparently coming out next year. My bf told me to search it in google images as there has been talk about it at his work (ford dealership)
I like the look of it..and the colour on the concept car is different too! I think it looks like a small version of the Nissan Murano. http://www.askaprice.com/images/news...se/3586-03.jpg |

Its got a bit of mazda 2 and pug about it, looks nice. I assume it will be designed similar to the new mondeo and focus to keep the corporate theme going.

dont much like it, but its all personal opinion. they might tone the concept design down for the production line though.... hopefully....

It is a good start,the overall Aesthetic design is good,but some proportions need to be sorted out,and some aspects will definately be changed for production.

I think it looks fantastic, the current Fiesta is looking stale and this concept shouldn't be toned down at all for production. I saw spyshots a while ago of an undisguised production Verve (Fiesta) and it very much looks the same as the concept from the side view.

Wouldn't the Verve be based on the new Mazda 2 that's out, save a few changes here and there?
A while ago during the MMS, I had a talk with one of the engineers that was working in the Ford stands and he mentioned something about the new Fiesta either sharing the same platform or have some same features as the 2.

I was under the impression the Kuga would replace the Escape, but maybe it will be a size smaller and sit below it? (go up against the Cruze etc?)
The next Fiesta is built on the same platform as the Mazda 2, and (apparently) shares the same roofline. Both Mazda 2 and Fiesta W? will be built at the same factory in Thailand from 09, that could be confirmation the two will share alot of components. I think the Verve looks fantastic! Its a kinetic evolution of the ST/XR4 shape (check the front and rear bumpers) In spy pics the camo'd Fiestas look like their styling is toned down a fair bit. |

The 4 door Verve looks just as good as the 2 door, hopefully Ford dont change much for the roadgoing Fiesta et al.
