Thailand Auto Show: Ford Ranger Max Concept Pickup Truck Premieres

Ford Ranger Max Concept Orange paintwork aside, the Range Max sports a new fascia with a huge three-bar chrome grille, a customized hard tonneau cover at the rear of the vehicle and what Ford calls a "Sportsbar" which attaches to the pickup bed and arches across the vehicle. A set of deep-dish, 18-inch alloy concept wheels and custom technical-look P285/60R18 tires with a chunky tread pattern finish the Ranger Max's extreme look.

"We recognise that Thailand is the home of Ranger for Asia Pacific, and from Thailand we export Ranger around the world. We know Asia is a fusion of many cultures, and we look to Thailand as a wonderful blend of tastes, styles and emerging ideas. For this very reason, we decided to create Ranger Max in Thailand and show the high-impact truck to the world at Motor Expo," added Mr. Kiatfuengfoo.


The star attraction at Ford's stand at the Thailand Motor Expo that runs from November 28 to December 10 is the Ranger Max pickup truck concept. A team of Ford truck specialists in Thailand worked closely with Ford's Australia-based Asia Pacific and Africa design team, led by Paul Gibson, to create the Ranger Max. According to Ford, many of the design cues seen on the concept could find their way into the next-generation production model of the Ranger.


"The tough style of Ranger Max is based on the capability and versatility that make Ford Ranger the choice of the most demanding truck owners," said Mr. Saroj Kiatfuengfoo, senior vice president, Ford Thailand. "Ranger Max's high-impact design and tough style appeal will excite truck enthusiasts in Thailand."

Frankfurt Motor Show: Mercedes E-Class Estate/ Wagon Spied

2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate to debut for public viewing at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2009, along with its coupe variant. The sedan would have been first shown in Geneva before that. As for today we can have a glance at these spy shots of the 2010 E-Class which show a bit less of that camo. For the first time we can see the car's true, undisguised rear lights.


It will share the same engines as its sedan sibling, namely petrol and diesel, turbocharged and naturally aspirated. Possibly a hybrid will make its way into the lineup. No Mercedes-Benz range is complete without a powerful AMG version whose power figures decimate those of its opposition, so wait for this one to enter the market.


Mercedes is going the current trend of round-edged rectangular tailpipes it seems. The roofline appears more as well, as well as more rear end. The E-Class Estate grows in length and width, meaning more space, especially rear space. An improved AIRMATIC suspension is to be offered, and possibly the still-being-developed myCOMAND vehicle-to- vehicle communication system.
