With room for seven and a turbocharged, 217 hp five banger right out of the European Focus ST, Ford's S-MAX minivan (pictured) courts Europe's lead-footed footballer-moms, while its larger Galaxy sibling (after the jump) targets their violin-recital-enduring half-sisters. Both small minivans (MPVs?) will show up in Geneva, where a year earlier, Ford unveiled the SAV concept to which the S-MAX owes its life. The Galaxy replaces a previous model jointly developed with Volkswagen (see also: Sharan). Americans won't likely see anything like these before the end of the century.
