" 2011 Detroit Auto Show: 2012 Ford C-Max &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;   Ford has just unveiled the B-Max, a pillar-less MPV based on Fiesta underpinnings but which, at slightly more than 157 inches long is 4.3 inches longer than the Fiesta five-door but a fully 12.6 inches shorter than the C-Max.   What makes the B-Max truly distinctive is its combination of conventionally hinged front doors paired with sliding rear doors; both sets of doors can be opened individually for a pillar free entry and exit creating a 59-inch long opening.    Engineered for production, Ford believes this door combination is a world&amp;#039;s first.   Sitting 4.3 inches taller than Fiesta, the B-MAX also provides extremely generous accommodation for its occupants. Drivers benefit from a higher `command&amp;#039; seating position, while rear seat legroom and headroom is significantly improved.   B-MAX, which should go on sale later 2011/early 2012 in Europe, is powered by Ford&amp;#039;s latest three-cylinder one-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine featuring direct injection and twin independently variable cams and stop-start.
