"Because Ford Motor Co. intends to eventually sell the same small Fords everywhere in the world - similar to the ones Ford of Europe has been selling for years - the automaker hosted media from North America, South America, South Africa and Australia to test-drive its current European offerings.
At Ford's proving grounds in Lommel, Belgium, journalists test drove the current C-segment Focus and Focus-based models already sold in Europe. When the next-generation Focus is introduced in 2010, it will be the same around the globe. Ford also will sell derivatives of that Focus in world markets.
On the following day, journalists test drove the all-important Fiesta on the winding, mountainous roads of Italy. Ford's even smaller B-segment car now is on sale in Europe, soon goes on sale in
China and arrives in North America in early 2010."
