Mondeo????

S Brake · 09-30-2002, 10:04 PM

I just saw a Ford Mondeo on the road today

I've never even seen one in the states and only a few pictures of them. Anyone else seen a mondeo in the states?

I've never even heard of a Ford Mondeo

i read in automotive news that mercury division may be getting the mondeo in their US lineup soon. though they'll probably muck it up like GM did when they rehashed the beautiful Opel Vectra into that Saturn LS heap...

I thought the Mondeo was supposed to be sold in the States and all over the world, hence the name Mondeo

Nope, the latest generation is much too good a car for Ford to sell it here. It might degrade their rep of selling POS cars.

Did drive a 2.5 manual in early 2001 when I used to work for Ford and it's easily a better driver than any Ford brand car sold in the USA.

Reason going around that it wasn't coming state side because it was too close to the Taurus in size

Quite Lame!

That is indeed extremely lame... why dont they kill the Taurus if the Mondeo is so much better? it would theoretically clean up, since its so much better to drive than competition.. maybe the Taurus is cheaper to make, who knows... still, Americans are pretty unlucky to get such crap handling cars.... its an absolute joke if you ask me yet people dont seem to think theres a problem

For Ford, that isn't a bad looking car. I've never seen one before, but that is a lot nicer than the Taurus, Contour, and most other Ford sedans. I think it would sell good in the States.

crayzayjay · 01-14-2003, 09:30 AM

worth noting the car in the pics is the "hot" Mondeo. The standard one is a fair bit blander

Okay, so you drop the big rims, fog lights, and the fancy interior. You are still left with a decent car.

crayzayjay · 01-15-2003, 06:13 PM

Agreed

Jimster · 01-28-2003, 10:22 PM

Well The Mondeo is in no way bland- I quite like the way it looks- especially compared to the first one

crayzayjay · 01-29-2003, 01:48 PM

Absolutely, it is better looking than the old one, but thats not very difficult is it... and i still think its bland, it blends into the background oh too easily :o

SuPeRcAr_MaN · 01-29-2003, 06:29 PM

I don't think they are bland. They are nicer and less bland then most Ford models in the US.

crayzayjay · 01-30-2003, 01:08 PM

haha... i forgot we were comparing to US cars. absolutely, the Mondeo is a stunning looking car next to the mainstream US stuff... but compared to some of the Europeans (Alfa to name but one), this car is very bland
