From the Ford Motor Company, the Ford Freestar is a minivan that has replaced the now defunct Ford Windster. The Ford Freestar has been touring the streets of the world since the year 2004. It can take in a maximum of seven passengers in its interior. During the introduction of this vehicle, critics say that the Ford Motor Company should not claim that the Ford Freestar is "all new" since basically it is just a Ford Windstar that is hiding just beneath all that new sprucing up. Just like the Ford Explorer which was a twin vehicle, the Mercury Mountaineer, the Ford Freestar also has a twin vehicle and this is the Mercury Monterey. There already are some rumors that the Ford Motor Company is due to replace the Ford Freestar with another vehicle, the Ford Fairlane, that holds three rows of seats in its cabin and is a sport wagon. This is due to happen in 2008 if these buzz is true.
