NBeing a One-Ford world car, I would expect it to be enigneered for both left and right hand drive......as they are now (and Commodores too!!)
Also, that glass gouse doesn't look too dissimilar from what we have today in MA>MC body shell. My Order: Top spec motor on AWD platfoprm if that cheery red or bluie shown above...and I might even settle for one of the smart 6spd dual clutch auto boxes (Vale Manuals). |

Due for a new car in 2014, so if I skip the first year's production then it should work out well.
Be interesting to see where the new model is made for the Oz/NZ market.

I have been looking into a Mondeo Titanium wagon, they seem very well appointed, but now after reading this I might hold of and see what we get here in Aus with this new range ?.

This looks awesome, but I reckon it will be out of my price range.

I have been obsessing over this car for awhile now. Hurry up 2013. This will be my next purchase. Can't wait for Australian models of Mondeo and pricing.

I heard the only differences will be drive train selections, I just hope we still get the adaptive AWD, would love that with the ecoboost. From what I hear and read it seems we will be getting it though.
I wonder if we are getting the hybrids?, not that I'm interested, would be nice to have the option. Global platform FTW lol Oxford white looks amazing. |
