Introducing The Ford Figo… In India
Ford Motor is increasing its focus on the fast-growing car markets of the Asia-Pacific region. The €œFigo,€ a four-door hatchback with expansive side windows and cat‘s-eye headlights, was designed with the help of Indian engineers and will be built in India and shipped to nearby countries.
What’s Figo mean? Figo is Italian for €œcool€ but does not mean anything in Hindi, the most widely spoken official language of India. Figures!
The Figo will be available in India in 2010. Ford did not provide any details on the Figo‘s likely price or fuel consumption or say which countries it would ship the car to from India. Like Renault-Nissan and Toyota, Ford is integrating its global operations to achieve economies of scale and relocating manufacturing and research to low-cost areas like India.
Hey, Ford! How about you sell those here in your native country! I’d buy one.
