Looks like Detroit is mulling a U.S. debut for the cute-as-a-button Ka. With a build that makes the Fiesta look mammoth by comparison, the Ka isn’t exactly the kind of flavor U.S. buyers tend to clamor for, but with ever-increasing prices and the Great Depression 2.0 just around the corner (maybe), FoMoCo thinking’s the pint-sized hatch might be the cure for the common fill-up. CEO Alan Mulally recently mentioned that there’s a growing willingness to bring the car stateside. The Ka shares a good bit of DNA with the Fiat 500 (hooray!), including the 1.4-liter gasoline engine under the hood. There’s even some speculation that a turbo variant may be down the pipeline. That’s right, Ka Arbath — sounds like a decent death metal band. With great fuel economy, a low entry price and buckets of driving fun, we say we want it. Now. [Autoblog]
