When Ford showed the
SAV concept in Geneva earlier this year we were not really impressed. We have now learned that the concept will become a production reality. The SAV (its production name is likely to be revealed at the
Frankfurt Show later this year) is aimed at being both practical and good to drive. Ford has sensibly decided to fit the production car with seven seats instead of the concept's five. We'll see if it can better Mitsubishi's efforts with the lacklustre
Grandis.
