Ford S-Max Pensioner World Record
I heard too the S-Max & Fiesta will be coming. Other rumors which make be want to believe it's true is mondeo 2.5t is coming too. S-Max is a great mini MPV. Hell, all the Ford Europe/UK line-up are awesome cars. Ford S-Max should be a CBU car, only assemble in europe. Don't get you hope so much on the price tag. If it does fit, I would bet it would have the same fate as the mondeo here.

Thanks for sharing. Well, if it share the same fate, then will be too bad for me, and for ford as well.
Anyway, ford is assembling car in Thailand, and not bolehland.

Nice to know that S Max is coming. I wonder roughly when will it be introduce on our soil? I went through the ford uk website and got to know that they have 3 variants there, Edge (most basic), Zetec (intermediate) and Titanium (hi spec). To me the intermediate one is good enough, but of course the Titanium variant is yummy as it has all the goodies.... ^_^

After the new NAP (under AFTA in-force) is announced and things are favourable, Ford will definitely bring in the new S-Max. Might even bring in complete specs & fuel saving diesel powered Fiesta sedan, Focus & Mondeo as long as they come in CBU from Thailand. Hope Euro3 diesel is introduced as well and that'll allow those FC savings diesel powered cars be brought in and they'll pose serious threat to Japs cars. A diesel powered turbocharged 2.0L Focus could achieve better FC than Vios 1.5L with VVT-i while performance is on par with 2.0L petrol engines.
S-Max will do well with its nice looks. If got diesel variant even better, can save lots of fuel but compatible only with Euro3 onwards..
Hi balee,
Mondeo is priced at too high due to CBU from Belgium. They'll need to establish assembly plant in Thailand or Malaysia before they should even start selling it. Those who wanted Mondeo will be drawn to Mazda 6 2.5L instead with full specs and costs lower. Bad strategy.

Ford oh Ford!
Went to 1-U and saw some ford vehicle yesterday, while feeling excited to view the Focus and Mondeo.
Forget about the handling and others, I would like a make a few personal comment see what other think.
The interior design, the dashboard and the feel of them are rather disappointing, boring , real apek or ah kong although I am already an ah pek, closing door has metal knocking sound rather then usual european car like volks,audi even chevrolet. dashboard of Escape is the worst,can't see anyone looking at that everyday. No doubt car should have good engine and handling, but we are talking about a family car, stuckied in the jam all the time, therefore the interior especially the dashboard must be presentable , just like a beautiful lady not a 70 year-old lady.
No wander there isn't any of them around, wanted to own one for it's good performance and handling but can't stand it after this.
sorry to say but this is my view, hope they can design better.
Btw, the freelander next to it was brilliant... not that british can't design..
