    Yep, it's still fresh. Could it be a timeless design...? Watch this space.

    This was exactly my opinion too when Ka was released back in 1996. Now, being a good ten years older and wiser, I feel the opposite: it is one of most incredible stunts Ford has ever pulled off. Ford Ka is definitely in my "cool cars" list.

    Mark my words, it's going to be a future classic for sure...Something like Fiat 500 or even original Mini.

    It definitely deserves to be in there... like the 500 and the Mini, it also has a 'hot' version

    Sportka vs. Abarth 695 vs. Cooper S... hmmm...

    Why do I feel that SportKa doesn't stand a chance?

    ... Because you're 'special'?

    I have to agree with Revo there...

    FORD LAUNCH KA-LIGRAPHY

    * Ka personalisation from just £49.99
    * Choice of Ford-approved graphics
    * Available for new and used vehicles

    BRENTWOOD, Essex, 14 August, 2007 - Ford Ka owners can now personalise their "pride and joy" thanks to a new range of specially created exterior graphics launched this month.

    Known as Ka-ligraphy, the vinyl graphics complement the cute curves of the loveable small Ford and come in a variety of different styles.

    Ka-ligraphy costs from just £49.99 (rrp) for the more discreet "I luv my Ka" tattoo in a choice of six vibrant colours. Alternatively there are 12 different "Zodiac" sign roof designs with spoiler graphic in either black, silver or blue at £119.99 or the full-body "Butterfly" treatment.

    The "Butterfly" artwork, available in five bright colours, include a small butterfly transfer through to bolder graphics for the rear bootlid, roof and wheelarch pair.

    Exclusively designed for the Ford Ka, Ka-ligraphy accessories only takes between five and 30 minutes to fit, depending on the size of the decal and the area of the car being covered. The graphics are warranted for three years and can be ordered now from all Ford franchised dealerships.

    Ford's Ka re-wrote the small car rule book when it appeared more than a decade ago and the chic yet affordable 1.3-litre model continues to be a sales success. The current range offers buyers a choice of Studio, Style, Zetec and Luxury 2 sport trim levels priced from £7,095 - £9,195 on-the-road and Ka-ligraphy graphics can be applied to all Ka in the range.

    They are poor, and desperate for cash. Otherwise they wouldn't sell Aston, talking about selling Land Rover and Jaguar. And maybe even selling Volvo.

    See it is as a cheap way to get an old, soon to be replaced car in the media a sell a few more of them before the new Panda-based car comes along.

    The interior is really old fashioned. Outside it is really nice and classic

    I really, really like the design still- will have a look into second-hand ones at some point. Has anyone test-driven the SportKa? I can't find one in the UK, it's so annoying.
