That is one nice-looking people mover. Maybe they'll bring it down. If there is demand for it...

It looks great man, It's a shame we can't get it over here.
It would make a great family car. Even the Focus wagon should be over here.

Is the S-Max available with a Turbo-Diesel engine? I think Ford Australia are planning on introducing a Turbo-Diesel in the Focus range this year.

After checking out everything this car has to offer I have to say I AM impressed. We are actually looking at upgrading to a Territory next year for a 7seater car but would much rather have one of these. Couple of questions though.
Is it FWD or RWD? Does it have AWD option? Also the Territory back seats hold a max weight of 100kg.....does this one too? All the options are amazing...including the petrol options for deisel/petrol/gas. Wish our Ford dealers could offer us options like this. The voice activation and moving headlights is incredible. Would love one. Where do we go? lol

Right hand drive cars here, hence we're on the left side of the road.

FRA - you obviously do not understand the import laws. You need to have lived in the UK for 12 months before bringing the car to Aust. Unless it is a pre-something model. I think it was pre-1986. Could be wrong with that year though...
But all new cars... you must have lived in the UK for a minimum of 12 months

It's ok. We do know people who import cars from both the UK and the States. Just saying that it would be a bit of a hassle to have to organise it all instead of just the standard....going to the dealer. Especially for just a one off family car.
It would be good to hear what Ford UK have to say though.
