Earlier we saw that Focus and C-max production will move from Wayne MI to Mexico.  Now there is news that Ford will both increase size of existing plant there, and build a new plant to double total Mexico production to close to 1,000,000 vehicles a year.  This article again mentions a hybrid developed to compete against Prius in late 2018 - seems it will not be a Focus, as it has been described as a dedicated hybrid model.  But it should be on same C2 platform as the C-max and Focus.

This is the first mention of the C240 project I could find since ... 2014. And nothing is confirmed by Ford at all. Sounds like it won't be a C-Max though.
