I'm confused with when generation 1.5 occured. I have info. to confirm the front fascia had a minor update for 1998, not 1996. I would appreciate if someone would correct my mistake if I am wrong. Bavaria 21:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Ford updated the front end of the Windstar in the 1998 model, which was introduced in April of 1997.
[edit] Trivia, driver side sliding door.....
This article mentions that Chrysler introduced the sliding passenger door in 1996. The Nissan Axxess had this back in 1990 (perhaps even earlier).
Chrysler introduced the second sliding door in 1996, a first for mini-vans.
[edit] Windstar/Aerostar
The first generation Windstar was instroduced in the very early 1990s with the same body style as the Aerostar. The Aerostar was discontinued shortly thereafter. Ford rushed to produce the Aerostar when they saw the popularity of the Dodge Caravan, knowing that the Aerostar was going to be temporary until they could get a good product on the market - the Windstar.
