I think this is one of them. The article this was taken from calls it the WiLL concept car, however.

Ford's also announcing the "faction" today, which I think is a similar idea (who ever thought small station wagons would make a comeback?)

Thanks for the photos!

That little boxy thing looks like just the sort of vehicle to appear to the purple hair nose ring set. Ha!

Exactly, but maybe it will keep peoples' minds off the horrid Prius.

TRABANT. Isn't that the "car" that East Germands' traded for sneekers at the gate? Seems like it was smaller and used an Evinrude 30hp engine.

The xB looks like a WWII German staff car.

I believe I will keep my rusting out, 1991 Ford Explorer with 300,000 miles on her. Even with the rust, she is a more attractive vehicle.

Sounds a lot like a re-tooled Echo platform; just like the PT Cruiser was based on a Dodge Neon platform, but sold for a lot more than a Neon.

I've got 104k on my 97' Deville and still going strong, about 28 mpg on the road.
