Now that I think about it, I saw a Ka on the roads up here a few months ago, and wondered how they got it through customs... most likely a Mexico market vehicle, then....

Also have a truck smaller than the Ranger. Still sell the old F150 alongside the new one, which they call the Lobo.

And a SUV smaller than the Escape... the EcoSport.

yup,. its not really new news. a lot of people know or heard that mexicans get the best of american cars, and european cars. since e-spec is allowd over there, also notice their licence plates are euro over there? they get mexi-euro plates too for some cars. a lotof vee dubbers tried buying/importing their cars from mexico in the past cus htey got the better engines than the us vw have ever sold, and guess what, they were not only successfull, but they saved money too due to the mexican dollar difference.. so its a win/win situation, plus being NAFTA, helps us outtoo.. your still technically in north america when you buy/import the parts, and technically should be a lot cheaper, why go to europe when all the cool parts ARe on our side of the pond to begin with, we just didnt realize it till now.
