Ford Reflex Cool Concept

Ford keeps saying the America is getting big on going small. That small cars are becoming big in America…that Americans think small cars are the next big idea...that small is big…that Americans are big on the value of small things…well, you get the picture. And it’s true, except there really is no getting to be got – Americans have been buying smaller vehicles for awhile now, though we have a tendency to want our performance fix AND our better fuel economy. If we have to sacrifice space, by golly, we at least want to be zippy about it.

Ford is right on the money, alright. Problem is, the Reflex is a concept, and unlike Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Dodge and General Motors, they don’t have a small production car to show off – they have a fantasy car named Reflex, which they debuted at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, and an aging Focus ZX3 that sells for a few thousand more than most of the smallest cars.
