Ford Motor Company is revealing the Verve at the NAIAS 2008 in Detroit.

Both four- and three-door Verve body styles are being unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, as curtain-raisers to a new global family of small cars set to debut in Europe and Asia beginning later this year and in North America in 2010.
The Ford Verve features a bold, modern, design along with sophisticated electronics, premium materials, and a fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine.

The North American Verve sedan, painted in Rouge Red, has been modified slightly from its European and Asian counterparts – most notably in its front fascia.

Verve’s architecture embraces key electronic systems such as navigation, a dynamic sound system and in-car phone controls. The center console includes a tray for a mobile phone or MP3 player as well as a large bin for a purse near the handbrake.
