New European Ford Mondeo (will most likely be the Fusion here)

to bad the SHO is a heavy pig with crappy brakes

I really like the white sedan, but I'm not a fan of the big gaping fish mouth that ford is starting to put on everything it seems... Like the focus ST, the 2013 SHO and now this...

I love the look of the wagon but I fear they will go much more conservative for the US version. Keep the wagon exactly as is and I'm buying. Second kid on the way and I'm gonna need a DD for myself

the exteriors should be nearly identical, this is part of the "one ford" plan, which is basically the merging of regional platforms into global platforms to reduce costs, and the development of a global styling theme. prime examples are the focus and fiesta. nothing worth mentioning changed for the US market.
i do doubt if we'll get the wagon though, the majority in the US just don't seem to like them. look how badass the magnum was, but it was axed after a couple years because no one really bought them compared to the rest of the LX platform cars.

2013 ford taurus face lift...

2013 ford taurus SHO face lift...

really like the taurus, LOVE the SHO!


i would rock the shit outta that thing!!!

Still ain't gonna cut it I don't think. I like the Taurus but like Dusten said, its too heavy. They're not selling horribly but not up to expectations. With the success of the Fusion and its place in the market I don't see how it would be a bad thing if it could pull double dury with a long wheelbase version to cover the Taurus' share if it were possible.

If an L model could come out at under 4k and then give it maybe 380-400hp out of the Ecoboost to diferentiate it from any other Fusion then I think that would be a good seller. The pics of the Mondeo above actually look like its supposed to be a long wheelbase version.

there's no most likely about it, that's 100% the new fusion. ford confirmed a few years ago. same with the ford kuga - escape(which will be debuting in a few weeks in LA).
if it looks anything like those renderings, we're gonna have one DAMN sexy fusion! i would be shocked if there wasn't a solid sales bump when it drops, the japs don't have shit on that! or ecoboost!

That's awesome. Hopefully they keep the build quality the same.

The interior resembles higher end euro luxury cars IMO.

Japs don't have shit on that either!

I really like that Mondeo sedan. A lot! Make mine an EcoBoost.

If the production car could look "just" like those photos, FORD could make a lot of people over here in the U.S. happy...

I love it.

 

[Carbd86GT]

The wagon is tits! Love that blue as well.

 

[FineLineMtrSprt]

Dammit i want that wagon...awd and ecoboost v6!

 

[SID297]

I'd take the wagon. I guess we'll see what we'll be getting a the NAIAS.

 

[Red94SVT]

+1 more vote for the wagon, looks like Austin Martin had sex with an Audi wagon but in a good way lol

if that thing gets Eco-boost and AWD i might have to convince the wife we don't need an SUV yet...

 

[Snagged]

Looks great to me.

 

[GTSpartan]

Very sharp

 

[05 Mustang]

SVT Fusion anyone? I'd like to see an SVT Fiesta too- I sat in the SES one that had the 2 tone leather and it felt pretty good. Would love to see on with an ECOBoost.
