Default Ford B-max

Here is a fiesta MPV, just wondered what you think. It is called the b-max, to me it isnt anything too exiting with a mondeo front end and s-max rear it is not too original.

What is with the mini MPV craze in the UK? I really don't understand - and hope it doesn't happen here!

Isn't that the same car as the fiesta 7 we saw around her a few days ago?

They keep building these cars for the Uk because it makes sense in europe. Space is at a premium but people still want to carry the family around so make the car as small as possible while keeping interior space. No point for it in OZ

I understand that Pieoter. We kind of have that same problem in the inner city areas. More so with petrol prices though. What I mean, is why so many variations? Ford in the UK have a Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo based MPV. Then the Galaxy. What is wrong with just having two?

well, vauxhall and renault launched lots of MPV's and they were massive success, and ford with lots of other euro manufacturers were losing sales hence they felt they were a big enough market to join. renault have tonnes of MPV's they have the Modus, Scenic, Kangoo, Espace and Grand Espace. There is just a huge market the biggst selling MPV though is the Vauxhall Zafira (not that you needed to know
