I'm with OK, from what I've seen and heard it's pretty much run of the mill supermini stuff in just about every way shape and form.

I've gone 50/50.

Ask me again when I 've seen it and driven it TINO,
(which should be some time within the next 6 months!)

Apparently its going to look a lot like this,
though, of course, only the lucky few have actually seen one yet.

Not that impressed with 1st sight of it to be honest, looks no different from a lot of others.
Opinion might change when driven though.

I'm not keen. It looks too short, narrow and tall. I know it's probably the same dimensions as the 500, but the 500 disguises this much better. I don't like the interior either.

And for the record, I'm not biased against Fords. I've had two Fiesta's which were great and my missus has a Fiesta too!

There are so many good superminis out there now that the new KA just blends in.

That's the main attraction of the 500, thankfully the retro pastiche has not yet become "the norm"

Find it hilarious that people are considering replacing their lovely 500 for this pile of tat.

It is a 500 ... albeit with "shrunken Fiesta" looks.
It's quite obvious that it isnt as cute/retro as the 500 but it looks ok.
I'd reserve a verdict until the road tests and more photos get published.
It will be interesting to seem what the base versions look like. The thing with the 500 is that all trim versions look good and don't feel like poor relations to the higher trim variants.
