Ford will not sell Ka in U.S.

According to CEO Alan Mulalley, Ford won’t be bringing the second-generation KA minicar to North America.

The Ka, which has been enormously popular in Europe, was being considered but Ford executives decided the car was too small for American tastes. The Ford Fiesta, which goes on sale early next year, will be the blue oval’s smallest entry in the passenger car market.

The current Ka was developed with Fiat S.p.A. and shares its platform with the Fiat 500. Both cars are built at Fiat’s plant in Tichy, Poland.

Chrysler Group will be introducing the Fiat 500 to the American market in 2011.
