Hey...

It looks kinda cool but its powered by a 1.6L engine putting out 94 horsepower! A top speed of 108 and 0-62mph in 12.1 seconds for only $22,000? Sounds like a golf cart with a shiny body...

it is just a festiva with a new skin?? That isn't a car, thats a joke. There wasn't anything good about a festiva. The new body will take some getting used to. What will the us version be called??

Talking

It is called the StreetKa here and for $22,000 you probably get Kylie with it.

www.streetka.com

Check out Kylie and the streetka here.

mabey it will be the festiva II, almost as big of a disaster as the mustang II. It seems that the only good thing from it is the front suspension.

I doubt they will bring it to the states...

It can't compete with the suvs/trucks/sport cars in the US. WE LIKE POWER!!! So there really is no market here but it's doing mighty fine in the UK.
