Frankfurt Motor Show Preview: Ford's new small car that's coming here

We all know that a new B-class car is coming from Ford for 2009 and that it’s going to be sharing a platform with the new Mazda2. It now appears the world will be getting a preview of the new car devoid of the checkerboard pattern at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Ford will be showing a concept version of the Fiesta replacement that should be very close to the production model. Ford evidently hasn’t yet decided whether to drop the Fiesta name.
