    I doubt it, the new Ford plant in Thailand is expected to be capable of building other compact Fords derived from the Focus platform, that means the C-Max/ Grand-C-Max and the Kuga/Escape replacement.

    PS: I think Vertrek is just the name for the concept, the same way the concept version of the current Fiesta is called Verve.
