Nope, I thought not. :D The new Ka is to be built alongside the 500 at the same factory from later this year of course, and Ford seem to be suggesting it will be better quality than the 500 but that seems unlikely to me: I thought Ford were going to use the same suppliers for the components....so it will be same plastics just in different shapes I reckon.
