Ford Verve

Guide Note

The Ford Verve is a series of three concept cars from Ford of Europe. The first, a magenta three door hatchback, was revealed at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. The second, a grape colored four door sedan with a trunk, was similar to the first and unveiled at the Guangzhou International Motor Show in China. The last of the concepts is also a four door, this time with a stylistically modified front end. The third car debuted at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. All three share better fuel efficiency and a smaller size than previous Ford cars and use bold colors and higher quality materials than are generally found on small economy cars. A production model of the third concept is expected sometime in 2010 and may be the replacement for the Ford Fiesta. Fast Facts
