Wow finally Ford is getting a small car for India, hope it has a powerful engine aswell.
@Sujeet Molasi – 68hp should be enough for this small car.
@Power911 – I think this is a strong entry-level model. Being the first, it also looks promising.
This should be a winner from Ford, the car thats gonna help it bounce back.
