Ford at Geneva
The great thing about Ford is that they constantly look to the future and are always developing their range to keep up with the times. This is likely to be evident when we visit The Paris Motor Show. Whilst this is the big launch for a lot of manufacturers, Ford has suggested that their big launch will be at the Swiss Expo instead.
Ford has already confirmed that they will be debuting one of their most popular developments at the Paris Show though; the Ford Focus. This new model will be in full European Spec and can be seen by consumers in full production trim. Better still; consumers will be able to feast their eyes on the all new ST model.
It seems that Ford has managed to plan big appearances at all the major shows, including the likes of Geneva. Next years Geneva Show will be a big reckoning day for the car manufacturing giant, as they release their newly designed and slightly modified Fiesta model, possibly their most popular vehicle in their whole range.
According to Ford, the changes that will be made will be kept to a bare minimum; which we feel is ideal, bearing in mind its current popularity. The design will be slightly modified to incorporate some newly styled bumpers along side the likes of LED lights will run in the day time. A quick look at the S-MAX and the Mondeo will see that the inspiration for the new design has been taken from there.
A quick lift of the bonnet will give anyone a shock. Ford will be incorporating their new direct injection system which will be helped along by the aid of a turbo charged EcoBoost engine.
Back on the Fiesta side of things, it will incorporate a fairly standard 90bhp 1.0 engine. This being said, they are considering the inclusion of a 1.6 liter performance engine, much like the current Zetec S, although this has not yet been confirmed.
Ford has had a long hard think about its Fusion range and has decided that it is time for a change. The Fusion will now be labeled as the B-MAX and will be a combination of the current Fiesta, alongside an MPV. Of course, the aim here is to attract customers will the functionality and practicality side of things.
