We're not all that hopeful that the next generation Ford EcoSport (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/04/ford-ecosport-concept-new-delhi-auto-expo/) will make its way to North America, but global markets ranging from Brazil to India should soon get their hands on a production version of this comely B-segment crossover.
It's too bad that the Fiesta-sized EcoSport isn't likely for our shores. We're liking the Kinetic look and wide stance, and we're guessing that the planned 1.0-liter EcoBoost (http://www.green.autoblog.com/2011/06/02/ford-confirms-1-l-ecoboost-three-cylinder-eight-speed-transmis/) mill should be both mildly entertaining and extremely efficient. And we're not the only ones that are impressed with the EcoSport.
As you might imagine, Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford/) chief designer J Mays sounds positively smitten with the Blue Oval's newest crossover creation, and he recently spent some time on camera to give an in-depth look at the concept's finer design points. Hit the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/01/16/j-mays-talks-about-fords-new-ecosport-concept/#continued) to watch the video for yourself.Continue reading J Mays talks about Ford's new EcoSport concept (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/16/j-mays-talks-about-fords-new-ecosport-concept/)
