福特穩(wěn)達(dá)：1995—2003年

????世界上第一臺(tái)MPV是克萊斯勒（Chrysler）生產(chǎn)的普利茅斯—捷龍（Plymouth Voyage）,，一開(kāi)始它的后方只安裝了一個(gè)滑動(dòng)車(chē)門(mén)，不過(guò)克萊斯勒很快意識(shí)到了這個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)的不足,，于是又給它安裝了第二個(gè)滑動(dòng)門(mén),。十年后福特也推出了自己的MPV——福特穩(wěn)達(dá)（Windstar），但是福特并沒(méi)有吸取教訓(xùn),，第一代穩(wěn)達(dá)只安裝了一個(gè)滑動(dòng)式的后方車(chē)門(mén),。后來(lái)福特CEO艾利克斯?特羅特曼開(kāi)玩笑地說(shuō)道，這臺(tái)MPV的第四個(gè)車(chē)門(mén)在設(shè)計(jì)室里弄丟了,。后知后覺(jué)的福特直到1999年才彌補(bǔ)了這個(gè)缺陷,，不過(guò)為時(shí)已晚。這款笨重的MPV遭遇了一系列可靠性問(wèn)題,，雖然2004年福特將“穩(wěn)達(dá)”的名字改為“福達(dá)”（Freestar）,，但還是沒(méi)能避免它在2007年過(guò)早退市。

Ford Windstar: 1995-2003

????Although the original Chrysler minivan came with only one rear sliding door, Chrysler quickly realized its shortcomings and added a second one. Ford, which came along with its van a decade later, didn't get the message and launched the original Windstar as a lopsided imitation with one rear door. CEO Alex Trotman later joked that the van's fourth door had been lost at the design studio. Ford belatedly rectified the shortcoming in 1999, but it was too late. The ponderous Windstar suffered a variety of reliability problems, and a name change to Freestar in 2004 couldn't prevent the van from a premature extinction in 2007.
