Can someone clear something up please. In England ford say's 370 miles on a full change.

In europe the trim level titanium is sports with luxury

Looks like ford is raising the interior in the class again link to item http://www.worldcarfans.com/

This is the sort of head lines ford is getting from the mags these days witch it it deserserves total http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/fi...s_the_road.html

just found this on gmi. Could this be the new b max http://totalcar.hu/magazin/hirek/?main:2008.10.17&366718

You all so forgot to tell how vauxhal have been giving cars 3000-4000 pounds off and 0% loans all month and that is just the small car. The vectra has 7000 pounds of is this part of the country

Keep on reading about the gm, chrysler merger or just have gm obsorb chrysler. But what if ford was to absorb chrysler would the deal be better with ford.As not realy having rear wheeldrive cars or minivans in their line up plus the hemi engine would be a good thing for ford to use as it own.Plus with the explorer going unibody you can slim down the crap from jeep and keep the good cars . ford main street mercury europe style smail cars chrysler semi lux dodge sports jeep offroad

Ore could it be the b- max witch is going to replace our fusion here in europe.

You hit the nail right on the head. Ford needs more than one c class sized car to make up the numbers of trucks and suv sales that it is losing in the market place

I think you are getting the C max and the S max mixed up. The C max is just a taller focus 5 seater with the S max being the 7 seat-er .The C max should be Mercury and be sold along side the ford focus

Ford jellymoulds you do talk a load of rubbish some times ford will have no trouble selling the 5000-7000 cars a year.If you think that 300 bhp is a fake car then i suggest you give up on being a car enthusiast

Well to day as i was driving around cambridge i saw a ford escape hybrid with dealer plates on. so could this be some testing for a future car for europe

May be it could be that they now only count the focus not the focus and focus cmax together

Well to start with the fiesta is the old man of the b car group

Just to let you see but auto express has a picture of the next fiesta plus some information on the details of engines like petrol 1.3 1.6 1.8 sci direct injection http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpr...ord_fiesta.html

Some times i do wonder about you the focus st is the best selling hot hatch out selling the astra 2-1. Last month ford said that thay had sold over 10,000 st focus

I would say that the v6 engine will be out in about six months when demand has started to fade .As it was said that ford has 20,000 orders so far in the last month. The mondeo has all ways had a v6 engine in its line up even the seirra before had a v6 engines.Lets just hope that its the 3.5 to give it the power it needs

Right lets compare apples to apples peugeot 307 petrol first 1.4 43.5 ,1.6 38.2 ,20 36.7 now diesel 90 bhp 57.6 ,110 bhp 57.6 ,136 bhp 52.3 all combined from there website.Now ford focus petrol 1.4 60.1 ,1.6 58.9 ,20 50.4 diesel 90 bhp 42.8 ,109 bhp 42.2 ,136 bhp 39.8 all combined from ford website. So when you compare cars in the same class the focus is not bad at all

In auto express this week it has the facelifted focus witch is going to be out this year to compeat with the astra civic and so on.With a lot more style than the one that we have now http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ PS in there sister mag it just had the new mondeao bet the passet and bmw 3 diesels good start only complant is it lacks the power of the other two .But said that it drivers better than the bmw

God i hope it has more than 130-150bhp as the st now has 150bhp and that is very low with most of its competitors have about 200bhp.Plus this engine is going in the mondeo so at least 210bhp or it will be behind before it even arrives

Juat to day in the auto express mag they was going on about how ford is making a 4x4 of the new fiesta. hope this link works http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpr...ord_fiesta.html

As the 3.6 v8 makes about 271 ps and 472ft/lb torque now. I would hope for a lot more from a 4.4 v8 based on the same engine

Read this to day about next years all new fiesta .Which in the write up says that the platform b2xx is for the up and coming ecosport for the us market and the mazda http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpr...rd_fiesta.html2

I think it could work if they put landrover with the suv off road image. Then you can have rover with the softer image with cuvs like the edge and freestyle plus a couple of cars then the hole rover landrover thing covers all the people

Over here in england it has been said that jaguar+landrover are working on a new 5.0 litre V8 engine with power at the 350 bhp mark
