A leading UK monthly car mag has let the Ka out of the bag. Pictured ahead of the official embargo, it looks like my subscription to the well-known publication has paid off.



From this pic it certainly appears that the new Ka will look the part. It looks a lot like a baby version of the Fiesta, which is no bad thing. There is a touch of Corsa about it though, which is a bit disappointing

It's well known that the Ka will share its underpinnings with the Fiat Panda and 500, and be built alongside the Italian cars in the ironically named town of Tychy in Poland.

According to those in the know, the Ka will get 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol engines and a 1.6 TDCi diesel engine.

Expect to see the car first at the Paris motor show, and then in a highly contrived cameo appearance in the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, which opens on 31st October.
