I am quite dissappointed that so many vehicles which get good milage are offered by Ford in Europe but don't even effect their American offerings.
Ford :: Pkw-Modelle
gives an overview.
There are also bigger vans somewhere, but I can't find: under LKW in germany. PKW is personal kasten wagen. LKW is something else.
Anyway, there is lots more to this. Milage is usually measured in liters per 100 km.
The rest of the site doesn't work too well, but worth chipping away at.
I can't find any other reason that Ford is going bust in the US. They are afraid to use outside/inside design in their own company. Looks to me like the Euro offering is quite abit wider than the american one right now.
