Until now, the importation of the Polo was all conjecture, but now we have confirmation, straight from the horse's mouth. No specifics were given about the diminutive hatchback's U.S. debut...

It will most likely be the next generation Polo, not the one in the picture above. (AutoSpies)

U.S.? How about Quebec? We got alot of small hatches running around here. More Echo and Yaris hatchbacks sold here than anywhere in North America. (WorldCarFans)

Ford Focus C-Max For US Being Tested

Spy Shots: Ford C-Max Caught, Headed to the U.S.?

Ford’s European development engineers are apparently back from their Holiday breaks, as our spy photographers have caught them out and testing the new C-Max people mover. Ford might be planning two versions of the C-Max this time round, five- and seven-seat configurations, which would explain the noticeably larger exterior dimensions of the mule spotted here.

I own a Mazda 5 and have been VERY pleased with it. I was in Germany last year and rented the C-Max. It's great. Same Mazda platform, but better looking and a really well put together interior. Very nice. Bring it. It may be a niche, but a growing niche. Go Ford! (Autoblog)
