European Fiesta Based, Brazlian Designed, Mexican Built Ford EcoSport is Headed To USA
Talk about a world car! Ford designers in Brazil are fast at work creating a new version of the very popular, in Latin America, EcoSport. The Car Connection is reporting that the new version will be larger which will put the vehicle in the same segment as the Escape/Tribute and could theoretically replace those models. It was my understanding that any Fiesta based vehicles would be additions to the line, not replacements, so I would really question this statement. Size may be one thing, but the philosphy of the EcoSport crossover is something very different than that of the Escape. It would be my guess that this EcoSport would be a new "cute ute" entry slotting in below the Escape. I've thrown in a picture of the current EcoSport and the Ford Escape Hybrid with its new pal Kermit de Frog (look for them at the Superbowl).
