Spy Shots: 2009 Ford Ka spotted testing

The upcoming production version of the Ford Verve will be the smallest Ford in the U.S. market (at least for now). However, over in Europe, Ford has an even smaller car called the Ka. The current Ka is based on the platform of the Fiesta which is being replaced by the Verve (or whatever they end up calling it). The new Ka will share the platform of the recently launched Fiat 500. Auto Motor und Sport got some pics of the vinyl-clad prototype undergoing testing. While the lights are obviously a red herring, it looks like the Ka shares the prominent wheel arches and rising belt-line of the Verve. The new Ka will probably have its coming out at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
