Whhhhhhhatttt – I can’t believe it. Here’s a car (albeit a desiel car) that can’t be sold in the US – http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_37/b4099060491065.htm?chan=rss_topStories_ssi_5
If ever there was a car made for the times, this would seem to be it: a sporty subcompact that seats five, offers a navigation system, and gets a whopping 65 miles to the gallon. Oh yes, and the car is made by Ford Motor (F), known widely for lumbering gas hogs.
I’ve seen ad’s for this car’s cousin for about 3+ years now (the Ford Ka or SportKa), and have been wondering if it or something similar, would ever come here. I like the fact they really don’t come out and say why, other than spouting off “But there are business reasons why we can’t sell it in the U.S.” – Sounds pretty generic – but until we get a car like this – here’s a cool vid of it’s cousin.

I forgot to add that this one reminds me of the Pigeon that Carissa hit and I had to pry out of the bumper last weekend – Thanks Babe!
