Have you noticed the colour of cars on Europe's roads?
Black used to be the most popular colour for Fords -- Henry would have approved.
Now though, Europe's favourite car colour is white.
The hot countries of southern Europe,
Greece and Turkey, like white the most -- reflects the heat after all.
Romanian buyers are the most likely to choose a Ford with a blue paint job.
While in chilly Norway, they like brown cars more than any other country.
Germans are concerned with safety -- three quarters choose Active City Stop,
which helps prevent collisions at up to 50 kilometres an hour,
whilst the Swiss buy the most Fords with Lane Departure Warning.
Five-door cars are the most popular body shape in Europe.
A third of people choose wagons.
And four doors are more popular in Turkey, Russia and Romania
Petrol is by far the most popular choice of fuel, especially in Russia,
where nearly every customer chooses a petrol engine.
Europe is a wonderful mix of people and tastes.
And for everyone, there's a Ford that fits.
