I believe that Ford has admitted they are working on a new "world model" B-segment automobile in conjunction with Mazda that can be sold in the USA. This will likely result in a new Ford Fiesta model and a new Mazda2 model.
Expect the new car to be unveiled at NAIAS in January 2007 for sale by Summer 2007 as a 2008 model in the USA from both Ford and Mazda; the car will likely be built at one of Ford's assembly lines in Mexico.
