It is designed to reflect a "twoâ€"box" sithouette. The twoâ€"box approach means The front suspension system has a wider stance than other miniâ€"vans, makâ€" ing the Windstar‘s ride and handling characteristics similar to those of a modâ€" ern frontâ€"drive Juxury sedan. The Windstar is shaped like a car; it is hard to think of the vehicle as a van. It is low to the ground, making passenger entry and exit, and cargo loading and unloading easier. Occupants enjoy more head, shoulder, and leg room than in other miniâ€"vans. Test driving the new van was the order of the day and the general consenâ€" sus from the gathered press was that if Ford sticks with its promise to price the Windstar in the range of its major comâ€" petitor, the Dodge Caravan, the Windstar is going to sell like hot cakes. (A Caravan was supplied to allow comâ€" parative driving.) For the past week, press from all over the continent were in attendance at the Windstar media launch in Howie:inâ€" theâ€"Hills, Florida. "With the Windstar, we will increase customer satisfaction and improve owner loyalty," said O‘Connor. Company research indicates that women are involved in about 90% of all miniâ€"van purchases and are the primary drivers of more than half the miniâ€"vans sold today. In addition, Ford figures show that 40% of all miniâ€"vans are purâ€" chased by young parents 25â€"40 yearsâ€" old with children under 12. An additionâ€" al 25% of miniâ€"vans are purchased by mature parents aged 35â€"50, while a furâ€" ther 25% are sold to empty nesters for use in transporting grandchildren.

With the last Ford Tempo built at Ford‘s Oakville assembly plant in October 1993, the way was cleared for the production of the Windstar, It has taken several months to bring facilities into line with the new vehicle‘s producâ€" tion scheme. To achieve the final proâ€" duction model, nearly 150 Windstar proâ€" totypes were built and tested in Oakville Ford has not yet released a purchase cost, but says the Windstar‘s price "will be targeted off the Dodge Caravan." The Dodge product is in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. As a result, when parts reach final assembly, they can be welded to a tighter fit; thus, ensuring the finished vehicle a quieter ride. This method requires all parts suppliâ€" ers, design groups, and technicians to use the same set of computer generated Windstar math models to manufacture various components and engineer assembly techniques. The Windstar is designed using the latest technology developed by Ford, including the "noâ€"adjust build" techâ€" nique. There are two bucket seats, a third row threeâ€"bench seat, and a choice of second row bench or bucket seats. Windstar‘s glass was made flush, and doors were designed limousine style to blend snugly into the surrounding sheet metal. The Windstar‘s tailgate has side latches instead of locks in the centre the floor edge, allowing smoother 1 ing and unloading of cargo. This allows more room while proâ€" viding crash protection to front seat pasâ€" sengers. there is an engine compartment sloping from windshield to front bumper, while there is a noticeable passenger compartâ€" ment from the windshield back.
