Good I wasn't sure they would combine the Mondeo and Fusion. Good to see that they are. I was afraid they would try to combine the Mondeo and Taurus. I know Europeans don't want a Mondeo that large and quite frankly I think Americans will better handle a smaller midsizer than they did with the Contour (which was also a Mondeo).

About time Ford bring the Ford Modeo to the U.S Market. What them so long? It would a great rival to the Camry, Accord, and Altima. Why do the Big 3 or Big 2 have really nice models oversea and U.S get Ugly Junk?

And they complaint why they're getting their a$$ hand it to them by the Japanese, Hyundai, and European. I wonder why, do you know? It because you're sell shitty a$$ junk so we use our hard earn money to buy Japanese, European or even cars from Korea.

Ford DID bring the Mondeo to the US, as the 1995 Ford Contour. They downgraded things like suspension and interior but they DID bring it to the US.

Haha, I read this title wrong, I started reading it thinking that the Mondeo was only going to be sold in third world countries.

The original Contour in SVT trim had the V6 in it which was pretty peppy for a car that size. It will be a nice migration for the Fusion as it already has some hintings with the freshen up of moving in that direction. I'll take the 3.7 with AWD. But I may have to settle for the Focus hatchback since I don't want to wait till 2014! Focus will be out late this year and right in time for me to trade out.

Hopefully they give me an AWD version but I can take the top model FWD, the leather interior on the new Focus looks awesome.
