Caught by long-lensed spy shots for <em>EVO Magazine</em>, this next-generation S-Max mule was caught pulling caravan duty in the Swiss mountains. <br /><br />According to the U.K. publication, the S-Max's interior is likely to stay the same, meaning that buyers will once again get a choice of five- or seven-seat configurations. The exterior is clearly being tweaked with a new front fascia and grille, as well as reconfigured taillamps featuring LED illumination. Given that the production S-Max first debuted at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Geneva-Motor-Show/">Geneva Motor Show</a> back in 2006, this seems like as opportune a time as any to refresh the award-winning MPV.<br /><br />The engine lineup is expected to remain unaltered, meaning buyers can expect a range of gas and diesel four- and five-cylinder engines as well as manual and automatic transmission choices.<br /><br />We've been hearing for years now that the sporty S-Max might cross the Pond... is it finally our turn? And if so, would Americans consider it?
