The '''[[Ford]] Ka''' is a small [[city car]] originally launched by Ford in 1996 to compete with cars such as the [[Mini]] One, [[Seat]] Arosa, and [[Smart]] ForTwo (formerly City [[Coupe]]). The European version is produced in Spain, whereas the Latin American version is produced in Brazil. In 2008, the first generation Ka was replaced with a second generation which shares its platform with the [[Mazda 2]].

===Recent Changes===
* Though not set to officially debut until the 2008 [[Paris Motor Show]], Ford, as early as the first of August 2008, has released images of its forthcoming '''second generation Ka'''. Interestingly, despite the lack of released info as of this writing, it is confirmed that the new Ka will share the same underpinnings as the [[Fiat Nuova 500]] and will be built in the same plant in Poland.[http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/01/officially-official-ford-debuts-all-new-ka/]

===Styles and Major Options===
[[Image:Fordstreetka.jpg|right|frame|Ford StreetKa]]

The first generation Ka's 12 year production span produced both hatchback and convertible models. From 1996 through to 2008, a hatchback and convertible were produced, along with a concept version billed the '''e-Ka''' which demonstrated the use of lithium-ion technology.

Now in it's second generation, the Ka is available in 5 trim levels:

* Studio
* Style
* Style +
* Zetec
* Zetec TDCi

Both 1.2 [[petrol]] and 1.3 [[diesel]] engines are also available, along with 'Individual' styling packs featuring unique vinyl and colour combinations.

====European Hatchback====

The European version of the Ford Ka was launched for the 2008 model year, and is manufactured in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tychy Tchcy, Poland]. The design closely follows Ford's current kinetic design philosophy, and a host of features previously reserved for the [[Ford Focus|Focus]] and [[Ford Mondeo|Mondeo]] such as [[ESP]] and reverse [[parking sensors]] have been brought forward to the new model.

====Latin American Hatchback====

The Latin American version of the Ford Ka is built in Brazil and features styling adapted from the European car, albeit easily distinguishable. The car is based on the Mk5 [Ford Fiesta|Fiesta] and, along with the 3 door variant, a 5 door variant may soon be offered.[http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080121.001/new-brazilian-ford-ka-available-in-february]

====StreetKa====

Discontinued in 2006, the StreetKa was the convertible model in the range, and came only with the 1.6 taken from the [[Ford Fiesta|Fiesta]]. Sales figures were pinned as the main reason for the halting of production. Various special edition models including the StreetKa Red and the Winter Edition were released to try and boost sales.

The '''[[Ford]] Ka''' is a small [[city car]] originally launched by Ford in 1996 to compete with cars such as the [[Mini]] One, [[Seat]] Arosa, and [[Smart]] ForTwo (formerly City [[Coupe]]). The European version is produced in Spain, whereas the Latin American version is produced in Brazil. In 2008, the first generation Ka was replaced with a second generation which shares its platform with the [[Mazda 2]].

===Recent Changes===
* Though not set to officially debut until the 2008 [[Paris Motor Show]], Ford, as early as the first of August 2008, has released images of its forthcoming '''second generation Ka'''. Interestingly, despite the lack of released info as of this writing, it is confirmed that the new Ka will share the same underpinnings as the [[Fiat Nuova 500]] and will be built in the same plant in Poland.[http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/01/officially-official-ford-debuts-all-new-ka/]

===Styles and Major Options===
[[Image:Fordstreetka.jpg|right|frame|Ford StreetKa]]

The first generation Ka's 12 year production span produced both hatchback and convertible models. From 1996 through to 2008, a hatchback and convertible were produced, along with a concept version billed the '''e-Ka''' which demonstrated the use of lithium-ion technology.

Now in it's second generation, the Ka is available in 5 trim levels:

* Studio
* Style
* Style +
* Zetec
* Zetec TDCi

Both 1.2 [[petrol]] and 1.3 [[diesel]] engines are also available, along with 'Individual' styling packs featuring unique vinyl and colour combinations.

====European Hatchback====

The European version of the Ford Ka was launched for the 2008 model year, and is manufactured in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tychy Tchcy, Poland]. The design closely follows Ford's current kinetic design philosophy, and a host of features previously reserved for the [[Ford Focus|Focus]] and [[Ford Mondeo|Mondeo]] such as [[ESP]] and reverse [[parking sensors]] have been brought forward to the new model.

====Latin American Hatchback====

The Latin American version of the Ford Ka is built in Brazil and features styling adapted from the European car, albeit easily distinguishable. The car is based on the Mk5 [Ford Fiesta|Fiesta] and, along with the 3 door variant, a 5 door variant may soon be offered.[http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080121.001/new-brazilian-ford-ka-available-in-february]

====StreetKa====

Discontinued in 2006, the StreetKa was the convertible model in the range, and came only with the 1.6 taken from the [[Ford Fiesta|Fiesta]]. Sales figures were pinned as the main reason for the halting of production. Various special edition models including the StreetKa Red and the Winter Edition were released to try and boost sales.

The '''[[Ford]] Ka''' is a small [[city car]] originally launched by Ford in 1996 to compete with cars such as the [[Mini]] One, [[Seat]] Arosa, and [[Smart]] ForTwo (formerly City [[Coupe]]). The European version is produced in Spain, whereas the Latin American version is produced in Brazil. In 2008, the first generation Ka was replaced with a second generation which shares its platform with the [[Mazda 2]].

===Recent Changes===
* Though not set to officially debut until the 2008 [[Paris Motor Show]], Ford, as early as the first of August 2008, has released images of its forthcoming '''second generation Ka'''. Interestingly, despite the lack of released info as of this writing, it is confirmed that the new Ka will share the same underpinnings as the [[Fiat Nuova 500]] and will be built in the same plant in Poland.[http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/01/officially-official-ford-debuts-all-new-ka/]

===Styles and Major Options===
[[Image:Fordstreetka.jpg|right|frame|Ford StreetKa]]

The first generation Ka's 12 year production span produced both hatchback and convertible models. From 1996 through to 2008, a hatchback and convertible were produced, along with a concept version billed the '''e-Ka''' which demonstrated the use of lithium-ion technology.

Now in it's second generation, the Ka is available in 5 trim levels:

* Studio
* Style
* Style +
* Zetec
* Zetec TDCi

Both 1.2 [[petrol]] and 1.3 [[diesel]] engines are also available, along with 'Individual' styling packs featuring unique vinyl and colour combinations.

====European Hatchback====

The European version of the Ford Ka was launched for the 2008 model year, and is manufactured in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tychy Tchcy, Poland]. The design closely follows Ford's current kinetic design philosophy, and a host of features previously reserved for the [[Ford Focus|Focus]] and [[Ford Mondeo|Mondeo]] such as [[ESP]] and reverse [[parking sensors]] have been brought forward to the new model.

====Latin American Hatchback====

The Latin American version of the Ford Ka is built in Brazil and features styling adapted from the European car, albeit easily distinguishable. The car is based on the Mk5 [Ford Fiesta|Fiesta] and, along with the 3 door variant, a 5 door variant may soon be offered[http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080121.001/new-brazilian-ford-ka-available-in-february].

====StreetKa====

Discontinued in 2006, the StreetKa was the convertible model in the range, and came only with the 1.6 taken from the [[Ford Fiesta|Fiesta]]. Sales figures were pinned as the main reason for the halting of production. Various special edition models including the StreetKa Red and the Winter Edition were released to try and boost sales.

The '''[[Ford]] Ka''' is a small [[city car]] originally launched by Ford in 1996 to compete with cars such as the [[Mini]] One, [[Seat]] Arosa, and [[Smart]] ForTwo (formerly City [[Coupe]]). The European version is produced in Spain, whereas the Latin American version is produced in Brazil. In 2008, the first generation Ka was replaced with a second generation which shares its platform with the [[Mazda 2]].

===Recent Changes===
* Though not set to officially debut until the 2008 [[Paris Motor Show]], Ford, as early as the first of August 2008, has released images of its forthcoming '''second generation Ka'''. Interestingly, despite the lack of released info as of this writing, it is confirmed that the new Ka will share the same underpinnings as the [[Fiat Nuova 500]] and will be built in the same plant in Poland.[http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/01/officially-official-ford-debuts-all-new-ka/]

===Styles and Major Options===
[[Image:Fordstreetka.jpg|right|frame|Ford StreetKa]]

The first generation Ka's 12 year production span produced both hatchback and convertible models. From 1996 through to 2008, a hatchback and convertible were produced, along with a concept version billed the '''e-Ka''' which demonstrated the use of lithium-ion technology.

Now in it's second generation, the Ka is available in 5 trim levels:

* Studio
* Style
* Style +
* Zetec
* Zetec TDCi

Both 1.2 [[petrol]] and 1.3 [[diesel]] engines are also available, along with 'Individual' styling packs featuring unique vinyl and colour combinations.

====European Hatchback====

The European version of the Ford Ka was launched for the 2008 model year, and is manufactured in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tychy Tchcy, Poland]. The design closely follows Ford's current kinetic design philosophy, and a host of features previously reserved for the [[Ford Focus|Focus]] and [[Ford Mondeo|Mondeo]] such as [[ESP]] and reverse [[parking sensors]] have been brought forward to the new model.

====Latin American Hatchback====

The Latin American version of the Ford Ka is built in Brazil and features styling adapted from the European car, albeit easily distinguishable. The car is based on the Mk5 [Ford Fiesta|Fiesta] and, along with the 3 door variant, a 5 door variant may soon be offered[http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080121.001/new-brazilian-ford-ka-available-in-february].

====StreetKa====

Discontinued in 2006, the StreetKa was the convertible model in the range, and came only with the 1.6 taken from the [[Ford Fiesta|Fiesta}. Sales figures were pinned as the main reason for the halting of production. Various special edition models including the StreetKa Red and the Winter Edition were released to try and boost sales.

The '''[[Ford]] Ka''' is a small [[city car]] originally launched by Ford in 1996 to compete with cars such as the [[Mini]] One, [[Seat]] Arosa, and [[Smart]] ForTwo (formerly City [[Coupe]]). The European version is produced in Spain, whereas the Latin American version is produced in Brazil. In 2008, the first generation Ka was replaced with a second generation which shares its platform with the [[Mazda 2]].

===Recent Changes===
* Though not set to officially debut until the 2008 [[Paris Motor Show]], Ford, as early as the first of August 2008, has released images of its forthcoming '''second generation Ka'''. Interestingly, despite the lack of released info as of this writing, it is confirmed that the new Ka will share the same underpinnings as the [[Fiat Nuova 500]] and will be built in the same plant in Poland.[http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/01/officially-official-ford-debuts-all-new-ka/]

===Styles and Major Options===
[[Image:Fordstreetka.jpg|right|frame|Ford StreetKa]]

The first generation Ka's 12 year production span produced both hatchback and convertible models. From 1996 through to 2008, a hatchback and convertible were produced, along with a concept version billed the '''e-Ka''' which demonstrated the use of lithium-ion technology.

Now in it's second generation, the Ka is available in 5 trim levels:

* Studio
* Style
* Style +
* Zetec
* Zetec TDCi

Both 1.2 [[petrol]] and 1.3 [[diesel]] engines are also available.

====European Hatchback====
[[Image:Aefordka67901fh1.jpg|right|thumb|European Ford Ka Hatchback]]
[[Image:180px-Ka_action_br_05.jpg|thumb|Latin American Ford Ka Hatchback]]

The European version of the Ford Ka uses distinctive styling which remains relevant even today - eleven years after it's release. Currently, all Ka models except for the SportKa come with a 1.3 engine, with 1297cc. Pricing for '''July 2007 in the UK''' starts at £7,095 for the Ka Studio, and ends at £9,995 for the SportKa. Trim levels currently include Ka Studio, Ka Style, Ka Style Climate, Ka Zetec, Ka Zetec Climate, Ka Luxury, and the Sportka SE.

====Latin American Hatchback====

The Latin American version of the Ford Ka is built in Brazil and less renowned than it's European cousin. In 2003 a facelift brought a lease of life to the range, and the main differences between it and the European model are it's taller taillights, and the altered front grille. It is available with a 1.0 or a 1.6 - both of which are 4cyl units.

====SportKa SE====
[[Image:Sportka.jpg|right|thumb|Ford SportKa]]
[[Image:Ford_e-ka.jpg |thumb|Ford e-ka]]

The [[Ford SportKa]] was launched after the standard Ka, and uses either a 1.3 or a 1.6 engine - with power ranging from 68 bhp (1.3) to 94 bhp (1.6). It is widely regarded as the sports variant of the range, and comes with an attractive, wider body kit which gives a impression of speed. The suspension has been given a more sporty touch to go with the extra power with the SportKa too.

====StreetKa====

Although discontinued in 2006, the StreetKa was the convertible model in the range, and came only with the 1.6 taken from an old Fiesta. Sales were meagre compared to the hatchback sales, one of the reasons for it being discontinued. Various special edition models including the StreetKa Red and the Winter Edition took to the road to try and boost sales, but in the end it was discontinued.

===e-Ka===

Launched in 2000, the Ford e-Ka was a prototype electric Ford Ka powered by a new generation of lithium ion high-tech batteries. Ford was, at the time, the first manufacturer to use this kind of propulsion for a car. It produced 88 bhp and was capable of 96 mph.

===Styles and Major Options===
The Ka has quite a model history. Since 1996, a hatchback, convertible and e-Ka model have been produced.

====European Hatchback====
[[Image:Aefordka67901fh1.jpg|right|thumb|European Ford Ka Hatchback]]
[[Image:180px-Ka_action_br_05.jpg|thumb|Latin American Ford Ka Hatchback]]

The European version of the Ford Ka uses distinctive styling which remains relevant even today - eleven years after it's release. Currently, all Ka models except for the SportKa come with a 1.3 engine, with 1297cc. Pricing for '''July 2007 in the UK''' starts at £7,095 for the Ka Studio, and ends at £9,995 for the SportKa. Trim levels currently include Ka Studio, Ka Style, Ka Style Climate, Ka Zetec, Ka Zetec Climate, Ka Luxury, and the Sportka SE.

====Latin American Hatchback====

The Latin American version of the Ford Ka is built in Brazil and less renowned than it's European cousin. In 2003 a facelift brought a lease of life to the range, and the main differences between it and the European model are it's taller taillights, and the altered front grille. It is available with a 1.0 or a 1.6 - both of which are 4cyl units.

====SportKa SE====
[[Image:Sportka.jpg|right|thumb|Ford SportKa]]
[[Image:Fordstreetka.jpg|thumb|Ford StreetKa]]
[[Image:Ford_e-ka.jpg |thumb|Ford e-ka]]

The [[Ford SportKa]] was launched after the standard Ka, and uses either a 1.3 or a 1.6 engine - with power ranging from 68 bhp (1.3) to 94 bhp (1.6). It is widely regarded as the sports variant of the range, and comes with an attractive, wider body kit which gives a impression of speed. The suspension has been given a more sporty touch to go with the extra power with the SportKa too.

====StreetKa====

Although discontinued in 2006, the StreetKa was the convertible model in the range, and came only with the 1.6 taken from an old Fiesta. Sales were meagre compared to the hatchback sales, one of the reasons for it being discontinued. Various special edition models including the StreetKa Red and the Winter Edition took to the road to try and boost sales, but in the end it was discontinued.

===e-Ka===

Launched in 2000, the Ford e-Ka was a prototype electric Ford Ka powered by a new generation of lithium ion high-tech batteries. Ford was, at the time, the first manufacturer to use this kind of propulsion for a car. It produced 88 bhp and was capable of 96 mph.

The '''Aston Martin One-77''' is a [[supercar]] set to be manufactured by premium British car company [[Aston Martin]] in 2009.[http://www.astonmartins.com/carbon_architecture/one-77.htm] It will utilise the same engine featured in the [[Aston Martin DB9|DB9]], [[Aston Martin DBS|DBS]] and [[Aston Martin V12 Vantage|V12 Vantage]].

The design of the car distances itself from the rest of the Aston Martin range, mainly due to aerodynamic and [[drag coefficient]] issues, and the car's [[monocoque]] shell is made entirely from carbon fibre.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[{{PAGENAME}} Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===

===Styles and Major Options===
Aston Martin aims to offer customers the option to have the car built to their exact specifications, including details such as the sensitivity of major components.

===Engine and Transmission===
The One-77 uses Aston Martin's existing [[V12]] engine, albeit heavily modified to cope with the increased pressure on major components. The engine has also been enlarged to 7.3-litres from 6.0-litres, and placed 100mm lower in the car to sustain a low centre of gravity.

Engine builder [[Cosworth]] aided the company in modifying the engine for a high-performance [[automobile|vehicle]], allowing for a 10% loss in engine mass and around 700 bhp.[http://www.netcarshow.com/aston_martin/2010-one-77/]

===Performance===
Estimates place a top speed in excess of 200 [[mph]],[http://www.astonmartins.com/carbon_architecture/index.html] and a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds.

===Reliability===
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here.

===Safety===
This section should reference points on safety ratings and features of the vehicle.

==Hybrid Models==
There are currently no plans for a hybrid model, although it is plausible. A 'clean diesel' variant will arrive in late 2008.

==Unique Attributes==
The Borrego is the first Kia to ever feature a V8 engine, and also the most powerful Kia ever.

==Interior==
This section should include information on the interior's ''design'', ''build quality'', ''ergonomics'', ''space (head and legroom, front and rear)'', ''features'', ''stowage compartments'' and ''overall comfortability'' and ''livability''. Add pictures wherever applicable and '''''keep information in a third-person point of view'''''.

==Criticisms==
Some articles claim the introduction of a V8 with oil supplies so expensive is unwise, and [[Motor Trend]] go on to say "When Kia began developing the Borrego some four years ago, gas was under $2 per gallon and automakers were still touting the sustainability of the big truck boom."

==Worldwide==
The Borrego is currently only to be sold in the North American and Korean markets, although for the latter it will be rebadged 'Mohave'. However, a move into other markets such as the UK is possible when the new diesel arrives.

==Design quirks and oddities==
Refer to any pop-culture tidbits about the [[Automobile|vehicle]] in this section.

==Awards==
List out notable ''awards'' that the model has recieved while in production. '''Boldface''' the company or organization that gives out the award, and ''Italicize'' the name of the award.

The Ford RS200 is a mid-engined 4WD rally car designed by Ford in the early '80s as a purpose built rally car. 200 road going versions were built (based on the RAC Rally car) to comply with FIA regulations, and 24 were given new suspension, brake, and engine components and dubbed 'Evo'.

The '''[[Ford]] Ka''' is a small [[city car]] launched by Ford in 1996 to compete with cars such as the [[Mini]] One, [[Seat]] Arosa, and [[Smart]] ForTwo (formerly City [[Coupe]]). The European version is produced in Spain, whereas the Latin American version is produced in Brazil. In 2008 it will be replaced by a car co-developed by [[Fiat]] utilising the [[Fiat Panda]] platform.

===Recent Changes===
Subtle modifications have occured with the Ka since it's 1996 launch, the most notable of which involved styling changes.

===Styles and Major Options===
The Ka has quite a model history. Since 1996, a hatchback, convertible and e-Ka model have been produced.

====European Hatchback====
[[Image:Aefordka67901fh1.jpg|right|thumb|European Ford Ka Hatchback]]
[[Image:180px-Ka_action_br_05.jpg|thumb|Latin American Ford Ka Hatchback]]

The European version of the Ford Ka uses distinctive styling which remains relevant even today - eleven years after it's release. Currently, all Ka models except for the SportKa come with a 1.3 engine, with 1297cc. Pricing for '''July 2007 in the UK''' starts at £7,095 for the Ka Studio, and ends at £9,995 for the SportKa. Trim levels currently include Ka Studio, Ka Style, Ka Style Climate, Ka Zetec, Ka Zetec Climate, Ka Luxury, and the Sportka SE.

====Latin American Hatchback====

The Latin American version of the Ford Ka is built in Brazil and less renowned than it's European cousin. In 2003 a facelift brought a lease of life to the range, and the main differences between it and the European model are it's taller taillights, and the altered front grille. It is available with a 1.0 or a 1.6 - both of which are 4cyl units.

====SportKa SE====
[[Image:Sportka.jpg|right|thumb|Ford SportKa]]
[[Image:Fordstreetka.jpg|thumb|Ford StreetKa]]
[[Image:Ford_e-ka.jpg |thumb|Ford e-ka]]

The [[Ford SportKa]] was launched after the standard Ka, and uses either a 1.3 or a 1.6 engine - with power ranging from 68 bhp (1.3) to 94 bhp (1.6). It is widely regarded as the sports variant of the range, and comes with an attractive, wider body kit which gives a impression of speed. The suspension has been given a more sporty touch to go with the extra power with the SportKa too.

====StreetKa====

Although discontinued in 2006, the StreetKa was the convertible model in the range, and came only with the 1.6 taken from an old Fiesta. Sales were meagre compared to the hatchback sales, one of the reasons for it being discontinued. Various special edition models including the StreetKa Red and the Winter Edition took to the road to try and boost sales, but in the end it was discontinued.

===e-Ka===

Launched in 2000, the Ford e-Ka was a prototype electric Ford Ka powered by a new generation of lithium ion high-tech batteries. Ford was, at the time, the first manufacturer to use this kind of propulsion for a car. It produced 88 bhp and was capable of 96 mph.
