I'm pritty sure you guys have not seen the Ford Range in Europe Lately, if the more then likely did bring a small car here from there it would more then likely be the European Fusion 2 SUV that is the size of a Focus wagon and it's under the Mavrick / Escape in Europe, since Ford of America is all in the mind set of SUV / Truck are still hot!.
Ford Ka, yeah it's a good little micro compact, but the down side to it when you look at Americans, and Canadian's you see that the buying public is a large frame and too large for such a small car, as it is a 2 or 4 seater in Europe, by our standards it would be a 2 seater, with jumps seats in the hatch version for small kids. and the only real compition for it would be the Smart car, if they sold the Ka with the diesel engine only.
Ford Fiesta, it's a great car, and has been Europe & Asia's favorite Ford for over 30 years, and comes with things you'd find on the Lincoln brand, but it would cost what the focus would to sell it here. On the plus side to the Fiesta is it's already in North America, being sold in Mexico and built in South America. Down side to it is Ford USA would more then likely make it into the Ford Aspire from the 90's (European MK5 Escort)
Ford S-Max, Already a Hit in all Markets it's sold in and 70% of them sold are in the Titanium package, but if they did sell it here it would be the twin of the Mazda5.

I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
