Ford’s new 7-seater Grand C-Max (2010) revealed for the first time ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. Update: 18/9/09: We’ve now updated the info on the Ford Grand C-Max with pictures from Frankfurt and the Grand C-Max Press Release. We got Ford’s info on the new C-Max a few days ago, but Ford were keeping us in […]
New Ford C-Max revealed
Ford has released information and pictures on the new C-Max that will debut at Frankfurt and go on sale in the second half of 2010 as a 2011 model. Ford has released some detail of the new C-Max, which is the first car from Ford to use the next generation Ford Focus platform, and will […]
Ford tops Scrappage Scheme
Yes, we’ve had lots of misgivings about the Scrappage Scheme in the UK. And most of those remain. But it is proving to be a boost to beleaguered car dealers and manufacturers as people stream in to showrooms to take advantage of the headline £2,000 discount. Ford – who are the biggest car seller in […]
Ford KA sells 500,000 in the UK
Not, we hasten to add, the new KA in the short it’s been on sale in UK. But in total the Ford KA, which really launched the whole sub-compact City Car niche when it launched in 1996, has racked up more than 500,000 sales in the UK. And despite a few reservations when we did […]
New Ford Ranger at Goodwood – Ford Goodwood News
We tend to think of Goodwood as all high-performance cars and classic cars. But things can and do go wrong, so support vehicles are a necessity. Rolls Royce has supplied a Phantom Coupe to the Goodwood Festival of Speed as the official Course Car, but Ford is supplying a vehicle with a much more prosaic […]
New Ford Fiesta – Autoblog loves it!
I suppose we shouldn’t be shocked that Autoblog – perhaps the most influential car blog there is – loves the new Ford Fiesta, after getting their hands on a Euro spec version for testing in the US. After all, they know cars; love cars and probably have a more Euro-centric view of cars than the […]
Ford raises UK prices – Again
It’s only a couple of months since Ford raised prices in the UK, citing the weakness of the pound against the Euro as the cause. I guess that’s what happens when you stop building cars in the UK (Ford only build engines here now). Interestingly, this comes just a week after Sterling hit a 2009 […]
Ford Kuga Coupe planned?
The Ford Kuga is a great little 4×4. It offers all that most people want in a small crossover/SAV car and does it in a good package with great looks. But Ford are obviously looking with interest at the ‘Style’ element of the market place. As people are downsizing in the current recession there are […]
Geely buy Volvo
Now there’s a statement that should gladden the hearts of Ford Execs. Although not official, the Chinese Media are citing Government sources for the information, so although it could be yet another rumour, this time it seems to have legs. What makes it more interesting for an old cynic like me is the statement that […]
New Ford Mondeo ECOnetic announced
We only recently reviewed the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic and, apart from its low-rent trim, we found it to be a crackingly good car which, with a little effort, was capable of matching the headline economy figures. But we suggested that Ford would do well to launch the ECOnetic as an option across its range, rather […]
