Seems a lot of micro cars are leaning towards this trend. Loot at the front end of a Micra, a Mazda 2, Alto, Jazz and a Fiesta and they all have very similar design cues in terms of headlights that are riding up to the A pillar.

That Korean Barina Spark looks like the offspring of a Jazz and a Colt. I like the design work on the rear doors actually (Seems to be another emerging 'trend' with the micro cars).

It's in a different category to the Fiesta

Ford Ka is what we want to smash it:

Funny how in the VEII press release they waffled on about how good looking the VE is and how there was no need to change it. But not 4 weeks later they say they are changing it.

Disappointing first month of orders I suppose.

Sorry I was speaking from a nerd vehicle classification perspective.

Fiesta is Ford's B car. The Holden Spark and the Ford Ka are sub-B light cars or "city cars". But yes it is safe to say people will cross-shop the Spark with the Fiesta despite the size and content differences.
