Ford Tuxphan?

I saw one of these on the road; I don't know if it's only offered overseas, or in Mexico- but it had what looked like a Ford Focus front end, and a rounded rear end. It was a 3-door hatchback, considerably smaller than a Focus, with Oregon plates on it.

Has anyone else ever seen or heard of this car? I can't find it on Google, or anything...

a Google of Tuxpan shows it s city in Mexico. Maybe Tuxphan is a local variation of that spelling.


I think you have a Mexican Fiesta (which matches that description) with a dealer name tag on the back.

Could be. The reason I even saw the plate "Oregon" was because I was expecting to see a plate from Mexico, but it wasn't. Yeah, the car probably came from down there, or maybe Europe.

European's drive the heck out of those itty-bitty cars- I wouldn't want to leave my alley in one of them... It was small though, as small as, if not smaller than an Aspire.

Yeah, that was funny, but- I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing it was funny!

Certainly looks like it, from the front- minus the air dam.

Don't forget, it takes about 1.35 Austrailian dollars for 1 US dollar.

I think we have a winner...
The butt looks kinda high, but then again, that's a Ford trademark...

Does that badge say V6? I6, or something else? Doesn't look like Ka...
Amazing, if they stuffed a v6 in that little joker. That'd be one swift grocery getter.
