Posted: 25 Oct 2010 04:30 AM PDT


Ford's market share has increased drastically with cars like Ford FIesta sedan and Ford Endeavour SUV, which earlier used to be very less. Ford Endeavour was certainly a huge hit in the Indian automobile market and proved to be an amazing off-roader.

A while back the company also launched the facelifted version of the Endeavour which was not able to retain the charm that the previous model created, but the company aims at regaining the suv market share with a newer and better Endeavour.
