2011 Ford S-Max (UK)
Ford of Europe will unveil new versions of its top-selling Ford S-MAX and Ford Galaxy at the 2010 Brussels Show. With fresh designs and the latest evolution of Ford’s kinetic design cues, they feature new interior materials and features, a range of more efficient powertrains and a host of driver focused technologies aimed at safety and comfort.
The 2010 Ford S-MAX and Ford Galaxy models kick off a busy year for new product introductions from Ford of Europe but, more significantly, herald the arrival of a series of new and innovative technologies and features that, as they are introduced throughout the year, will challenge established perceptions of what Ford cars feel like to sit in and drive.

Volvo Tries to Bring Back Interest with XC60-R
Think of the XC60-R as Volvo’s modest effort to make a modest sport-ute modestly sporty. The exterior is now kept in single-tone, as opposed to two; trim accents are decorated in glossy silver; and duo-tones and aluminum finish line the cabin. Mechanical adjustments are minor, limited to a revised steering system for precise handling, a strengthened chassis, and an upgraded suspension.
It’s not a lot, I know, but it is a tiny step to making Volvo an interesting marque.
