Ford bucks the trend

The global downturn is hitting everyone, but Ford is riding the recession better than most. Sales are down, but Ford is increasing its share of the van market - and launching several new and facelifted models. Transit gets cleaner ECOnetic engines, while Transit Connect gets a facelift. And all-new Fiesta looks a winner too. We've driven them - look out for our road tests. Along with all the other great vans out there, now's the time to scrap that rusty old van and get a brand new one.
