Next-generation Mondeo will be the Ford Taurus in the U.S.
Now that Ford of Europe is raking in some money, it can afford to explore new models that will build up the brands image. According to CAR Online, Ford is working on a four-door-coupe version of the Ford Mondeo that is currently only available in a sedan and wagon variant.

As we already know, Ford is now making all its upcoming European models of global potential. The next-generation Mondeo is also expected to replace the current and disappointing Ford Taurus (yes that rebadged Ford Five Hundred one).

This Seems Rather Unlikely As The Taurus Is A Full-Sized Vehicle, And The Mondeo Is Not Even As Large As The Mid-Sized Fusion/Milan/MkZ Triplets.

Who Knows...

Why not call it the Mondeo?

I completely agree. 'Mondeo' fits this cars personality. 'Taurus' just reeks of '80s/'90s throwback and doesn't sound exciting.

Taurus is NOT a full sized vehicle, it has always been mid-sized. Grand Marquis, Town Car is Full Sized. Even the Ford 500 Platform is mid-sized, although a big midsize with tall doors.

Ford should just start using the Volvo motors. Maybe this would be a way for Lincoln to emerge away from the base Ford.

Fusion is certainly not a mid size, it is a small car. maybe not a compact, but it is a small car. my dad could not get his head under the a-pillar and his knees didn't fit under the wheel.

The Edge is a beter choice for older people with Arthritis or mobility problems. Easier to get in and out.

EvoAudi- its totally okay to say woo-hoo!! twice. Make it three- if the Mondeo ships into the US with a 6 speed manual.

This is too long a wait: the Ford Mondeo is a great car NOW and is desperately needed to take the fight to the Accord, Malibu and of course the Camry. The longer Ford waits, the more it concedes to rivals who can better answer current market needs.

It's about time Ford. At least now I'll have one Ford I find good looking.
