One welcome addition to Ford's lineup is a full-sized, seven-passenger crossover vehiclebased on the new Ford Fairlane concept, a boxy amalgam of a sport utilityvehicle and a minivan that was popular at recent auto shows.
Dubbed "the Model T for the 21st century, " the funky-looking utilityvehicle boasts biodegradable materials--from the corn-based tires and roof to the seats stuffed with soy-based foam.
