We recently gave you a sneak peek at Ford of Europe’s new 2011 C-Max people mover. That Iosis Max-inspired “compact multi-activity vehicle” will officially debut in a few days at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Based on the company’s new global C-platform architecture that will underpin the next Ford Focus, the 2011 Ford C-Max will be powered by a new 1.6-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder.
