It seems a bit wiered to me though, cause even though the car has already been released in Europe you would still think ford would cover it up, at least the changed bits of the car. Any how the other thing that I don't get is, why doesn't it have a more agressive front like the Focus XR5 Turbo and there isn't any sport like spoiler or stainless tip exhausts, just the standard cosmetic elements. I have some doubt that this is really the XR5 Turbo version of the Mondeo, it is unusuall to see the same name as well. I hope Ford changes the power output, cause a lot more weight is sitting on the ground than the Focus XR5 Turbo and the extra boost would really benefit the car.More info and pics on this car is needed to really know whats going on.CheersPrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple guys in suits driving it. I thought it was a Focus, I wasn't aware there was a Mondeo turbo, but then I realised I was looking at a sedan... It looked bloody nice!

Available in 6spd manual only the car has everything you could want, also you can option voice command technology in the mondeos, so you can tell it to make phone calls via bluetooth, change the climate control, and change the radio station. I was playing with this feature the other day at the motorshow, very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are used on more than one model. I dont see how it is different. Anyway, it seems as though the mondeo is shaping up to be a great car. It may even give the falcon a run for its money.
