Ford Figo Debuts In India

by TTAC Staff

Published: February 3rd, 2014

Our friends at Motorbeam in India snagged these live shots of the Ford Figo, aka the sedan version of the next Ford Ka and EcoSport. Designed as a world car to be sold in BRIC markets, the Figo is officially a concept, but is as production ready as a concept gets. For more, check out Motorbeam editor (and TTAC contributor) Faisal Ali Khan’s take on the Figo.

Don't like it. I appreciate it's on the latest platform and not a fourth-gen 1990s rehash, but Ford is losing its way with econobox designs - dare I say the idea of having local design teams is not helping. I'm even seeing some Mini Countryman in the front of that, which is no good thing at all. Frankly, the body looks too big for the chassis (or the wheels, at least) which is probably traced back to maxing out interior space, but it's screwed all the exterior ratios. And it would appear they decided not to design anything past the C-pillar. I bet there's going to be some pretty shoddy plastics in there as well. It'll probably sell like hot cakes.

AZFelix UCHOTD (Used Corporate Headquarters of the Day):Loaded 1977 model with all the options including tinted glass windows, People [s]Mugger[/s] Mover stop, and a rotating restaurant. A/C blows cold and it has an aftermarket Muzak stereo system. Current company ran okay when it was parked here. Minor dents and scrapes but no known major structural or accident damage. Used for street track racing in the 80s and 90s. Needs some cosmetic work and atrium plants need weeding & watering – I have the tools and fertilizer but haven’t gotten around to doing the work myself. Rare one of a kind design. No trades or low ball offers – I know what I got.
El scotto UH, more parking and a building that was designed for CAT 5 cable at the new place?
Ajla Maybe drag radials? 🤔
FreedMike Apparently this car, which doesn't comply to U.S. regs, is in Nogales, Mexico. What could possibly go wrong with this transaction?
El scotto Under NAFTA II or the USMCA basically the US and Canada do all the designing, planning, and high tech work and high skilled work. Mexico does all the medium-skilled work.Your favorite vehicle that has an Assembled in Mexico label may actually cross the border several times. High tech stuff is installed in the US, medium tech stuff gets done in Mexico, then the vehicle goes back across the border for more high tech stuff the back to Mexico for some nuts n bolts stuff.All of the vehicle manufacturers pass parts and vehicles between factories and countries. It's thought out, it's planned, it's coordinated and they all do it.Northern Mexico consists of a few big towns controlled by a few families. Those families already have deals with Texan and American companies that can truck their products back and forth over the border. The Chinese are the last to show up at the party. They're getting the worst land, the worst factories, and the worst employees. All the good stuff and people have been taken care of in the above paragraph.Lastly, the Chinese will have to make their parts in Mexico or the US or Canada. If not, they have to pay tariffs. High tariffs. It's all for one and one for all under the USMCA.Now evil El Scotto is thinking of the fusion of Chinese and Mexican cuisine and some darn good beer.
