Last night we showed you the Ford Verve for America, because we didn't want to sleep anyways. When they released the Verve from its hiding place it was all we could do to not get sucked into the unnecessarily huge grille. When you get the full 360 degrees you'll appreciate the athletic stance (certainly enhanced by the 18-inch wheels), something refreshing for a small car. And just to make sure you don't forget how important the Verve is for the future, it literally dropped in on us. From the ceiling. More »

After introducing us to the Ford Verve at Frankfurt late last year, Ford is bringing this new global small car platform to the United States. The four-door shown here is the basis for the production vehicle that will hit driveways in North America sometime in 2010, while the three-door is from the Euro-spec model that we may or may not see (depending on the reaction). We imagine that the 18-inch polished wheels probably won't be standard when it goes into production, but it'll be fairly close otherwise. This is for all of you out there joining the chorus of complaints that we're not getting Ford Europe products. Press release below the jump. More »

Although Ford's new sedan version of the Verve concept's already been unveiled at the Guangzhou International Auto Show and we've already given you the press release and some low-res shots on the Sedan concept of the Ford Verve, we've just now noticed Ford's released some high-res shots showing off the big-hatch b-car from Ford. On the off chance the Euro side of the pond ends up winning the design competition currently underway at Ford between the 'merican "Bold Moves" and the European "Bold Mouths" — we figured you might like to see what we could be getting stateside. Without further ado — here's the hot shots galleried up for your pleasure below. More »

The Guangzhou International Auto Show is a Fiesta for small cars from Ford, highlighted by the introduction of the Ford Verve Concept sedan (actually, a four-door notchback) to compliment the Verve Concept hatch shown at Frankfurt. This vehicles shows off the bold move Ford is making towards bold mouths globally, including the S-Max and new Mondeo. A gallery of the hacthback below, as well as the press release: More »

As we told you just a short while ago, we're live at the Ford press reveal. And yes Ford fanboys n' girls, this is the Verve concept car, revealed today at the Frankfurt Auto Show. It's a new conceptually Bold Move from the brand that's known for using the phrase — sometimes even every day. But what's most important about the concept car are not the lovely ladies revealing the concept, but that the Verve's supposed to fortell the future of the Ford Fiesta — a product that we told you yesterday we'll be seeing ourselves stateside. Full press release is below the jump. More »

While we're here in Frankfurt waiting to check out the Ford Verve — a concept car providing design hints of the 2009 Ford Fiesta — Brenda Priddy's spy photographers caught what they think is the actual 2009 Ford Fiesta playing around outside in full camo. Unlike last time however, it's no longer under a blue shroud. And of course, if Motor Trend is to be believed, the exciting news for Fiesta fans here in the US is they'll be exporting it stateside for the first time since 1980. More of what Brenda's got to say after the jump.
