Our spy photogs have been working diligently bringing us the latest photos of new models testing out on the open road. This photo was snapped of the Ford B-Max's interior, the first nice shot of the American automobile's new control panel and layout. The prototype seen in the photo is the near-production model that we expect later this year as a 2012 model. We have seen several photos of the B-Max's exterior during testing but this is the clearest shot yet of what is lurking inside the new Ford.

Power will come from Ford's new 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost that, according to Ford group vice president of Global Product Development, Derrick Kuzak, "will deliver horsepower and torque outputs equivalent to or better than most normally aspirated 1.6-liter gasoline engines." Sounds good, but it appears it's not heading to the U.S. for cost reasons. Europeans and other countries are used to and don't mind paying more for a smaller car, whereas many Americans would balk at the price Ford would need to charge in order to make a profit.
