El Ferrmed es muy necesario. Cada vez se va cumpliendo más aquello de «Europa empieza en los Pirineos». Lo que ya es de traca es que puertos como el de Tarragona tengan vías que no sean de ancho europeo, y de diícil acceso. Si es que tenemos lo que nos merecemos. Y en Cataluña, si en 4 años se han construido ¿0? km de vías férreas, en 5 dudo que se termine el corredor.

Pero vamos, entre que la furgoneta de Nissan no se fabricará en la Zona Franca y ahora esto, al final acabaremos albergando fábricas tercermundistas de coches chinos.

            Competidor del Opel Meriva, y sustituto del Fusión, el nuevo Ford B MAx se presentará como Concept cercano a la serie. Su comercialización, para 2012.

Washington — Federal safety regulators have opened a preliminary investigation into 280,000 2010 Ford Fusion vehicles over wheel stability concerns.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it is reviewing four complaints on 2010 Ford Fusion vehicles that allege wheel stud fractures.

Three complaints belong to the same 22-vehicle fleet but were assigned to different drivers who said they experienced the problem on three separate occasions. All four vehicles had low-mileage — between 5,000 and 11,000 miles — and the wheels had never been serviced prior to the incidents.
The four vehicles were equipped with steel wheels and decorative wheel covers with each wheel was affixed via five lug nuts and wheel studs. At least one complaint alleges wheel stud fractures on multiple wheels.
The fractures could result in wheel separation and loss of vehicle control, NHTSA said.
Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said the Dearborn automaker «is aware of the investigation and will cooperate fully with the government, as we always do.»

Recently, we brought you an article on how we think Ford would benefit by replacing the Ikon with Fiesta. Now it seems the entire population of India agrees with us. In a shocking disclosure, Ford India did not sell any Ikons in January.

Astonishingly, that’s over a billion people unanimously agreeing that don’t want the Ikon anymore (even our politicians cannot do that). Ford Ikon sales figures were on a decline since the past few months but the company was managing 100+ units averagely.

This extreme scenario can be partly attributed to the Figo’s success as well which sold over 8,600 units in the same month. I understand that one is a hatch and other is a sedan. But if one thinks from a point of view of a customer who has just entered a Ford dealership, I cannot think of any good reason why I should buy an Ikon over a Figo.

The Figo is spacious, looks good, performs better, the interior is a much better place, is easy to maintain, has a lot of features and is overall a much better car. On the other hand, the Ikon just has a boot.

Anyone would easily compromise the boot and buy the Figo.

So this message goes to Ford India: Chuck the Ikon Out, Get the Fiesta In!

Has visto los números de venta del mercado hindú y sus respectivas fotos?

I`m scared… del todo.

El Ford Kinetic, el actual estilo… ha habido tantos cambios de lenguaje que andan perdidos hasta los mandamases.
Solo espero que sea algo que con el actual lenguaje de diseño sea más bonito que el actual Focus, cosa simple por otra parte.
