Looks great. Single, middle-aged women and gay men need more car options to choose from.

Yeah, except with horsepower on par with my parent's old '82 Sentra Station Wagon - actually that would be an interesting race. I think the old wagon might be able to take it.

They're definitely going for the chick car angle. This will be one of those cars guys instantly slow down to look at the passengers of because of the probable bodies they'll find inside. Kind of like the VW Rabbit in the 80s and the VW Jettas/Mazda Miatas in the 90s.

 

[vi edit]

Drop the Focus SVT drivetrain in there and that little sh!t would be a blast to drive. I like it.

 

[zippy]

That is one ugly mofo. I think my lawnmower has more power.

Definitely a TT knockoff, but the convertible hardtop is a really cool feature. Probably adds a lot to the cost, though.
We'll never get something like that here, anyway.

Saw one on the street, driven by a middle aged woman. What a surprise.

The Ka is bent enuff, this is just taking the piss.

 

[SaltBoy]

You mean to tell me that they couldn't come up with a better name than STREETKA?!?

That's the worst. name. ever. for a car!

 

[BigSmooth]

The name of the car is really "Ka", there was also a SportKa at some point IIRC.

 

[halik]

actually ford has been making Ka in europe for longer than TT has been out...

Ka is really really really insanely tiny car, 100 hp should be just enough for it

Yeah, but what they did with the rollbars on this version is just way too TT Roadster-like.

lol

 

[BatmanNate]

Even the Miata would give it to that thing up the tailpipe. Bleh.

 

[UNCjigga]

WOW its a 12 second car!!!! Wait...you mean that's NOT the 1/4 mile time????

 

[Citation]

lol, wow, well what can you say about a vehicle with a name that sounds very much like streaker. That said I very much like Fords new direction they are taking the company, straight down the toilet. Right where they belong.

You beat me to it. But look at "0-60 MPH: 12.0 seconds" What is this a VW van???
