• Car Evolution - why no "Mark" models anymore 18 May 2009 (Forum)
  When Ford had their Cortinas, Escorts etc the new model became the next "Mark". IIRC The Cortina, for example, went up to Mark V and I can visualise each of them based on that. However nowadays Audis, BMW, Mercs etc etc all have strange code numbers with each revised model. Why do they not all

  What's happened to Ford's 1.6 Duratec Ti-Vct engine? It's missing from the current Focus range, but the last brochure described it as 'fresh and exciting' and 'leading the engine line up'. Not such an anoraky question as it sounds, because the extra 15/20 bhp over the standard 1.6 made a big

  What a good looking car. First time I've seen one in the flesh. Despite Ford's intention of trying to get it "up market", the one I saw today was a true workhorse already - ladders on the roof rail/rack, filthy paintwork, and alloys covered in brake dust. So maybe there is hope
