Actually, Ford did confirm four months ago they were working on a next-generation B-segment car that will sold in the USA. Developed in cooperation with Mazda, the new car will likely be unveiled as early as NAIAS in January 2007 and we might see it on sale at Ford dealerships by late Spring 2007 as a 2008 model.
Besides being the new Ford Fiesta (which will be built at Ford plants worldwide), it will also be the basis for the next-generation Mazda2, also.
