Default Was the Ford Ka's WILD style a hit & how did it all go wrong?!?

The Ford Ka was not really suitable for Australia but was very successful in Europe. In my opinion, the Ka was one of the few successful iterations of Ford's New Edge styling direction.

This video is an interesting story of how Ford brought the Ka to market and how it conquered with it's stand out design.







The Ka also spawned a Pininfarina designed and built StreetKa. I don't care for the car itself, although it was marketed with the assistance of the divine Miss M.........









And of course the viral leaked TV ad made it famous........



While the Ka's star faded in the end, it's success as a basic and affordable car for the European market can't be denied.
