<br />Eagle-eyed spy shooters for <a href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/34284/spy-pics-ford-australia-tests-verve-based-small-car/">Car Advice</a> in Australia have managed to snap off a series of photos of a new entry-level Ford hatchback that's likely headed to emerging markets like India, Brazil and some areas in Europe. The car seen in these spy shots is clearly disguised as the previous-generation Ford Fiesta, but it's believed that this new machine may actually be a production version of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/11/frankfurt-2007-ford-verve-concept-visits-the-stage/">Ford Verve concept</a> that was first introduced back in 2007 at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/frankfurt-auto-show/">Frankfurt Motor Show</a>.<br /><br />If it ever reaches production, it's likely that the Verve will feature a range of gasoline and diesel engines varying in size from 1.2- to 1.5-liters. According to <a href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/34284/spy-pics-ford-australia-tests-verve-based-small-car/">Car Advice</a>, this new hatchback is expected to get a formal green-light from Ford sometime in mid-2010 en-route to production a few months later. For what it's worth, we don't expect to see this car come Stateside, as America will already have the new Fiesta subcompact followed by a new global Focus. <a href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/34284/spy-pics-ford-australia-tests-verve-based-small-car/">Click here</a> for the rest of the shots.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-ford-verve-spy-shots-1/">2011 Ford Verve - spy shots</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-ford-verve-spy-shots-1/2123813/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/2011-ford-verve-spy_1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-ford-verve-spy-shots-1/2123814/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/2011-ford-verve-spy_2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/34284/spy-pics-ford-australia-tests-verve-based-small-car/">caradvice.com.au</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/03/spy-shots-ford-verve-mule-spotted-banging-around-in-australia/">Spy Shots: Ford Verve mule spotted banging around in Australia</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:01:00 EST.
