Hide the Ford badges and you'd think it was a new Mitsu :p
 
I think it looks awesome, ford need the mondeo to get back is no1 rep mobile status :)

If you look at the rest of the range, they are mostly top notch cars:

Fiesta= great car
Focus= another great car
Current modeo= Indifferent
Kuga= meh...........
C-max + S-Max= Great cars
Transit= WIN
 
Whats interesting is that its based on all new platform which they are sharing with the US market fusion.

Ford Europe and Ford america had always been quite happy making separate cars on separate platforms. Why the need to start platform sharing now ? cost cutting ?
The Mondeo has always been designed/planned as a "global" car since the early 90's and the Mk1.
 
I think it looks great personally, just the right kind of styling to suit the Mondeo/Fusion. Modern, but understated, aggressive yet refined at the same time. Seems like a good balance. I never much liked the current Mondeo styling (although the Titanium X isn't so bad), so this is certainly a big improvement.

Would certainly like to get my hands on a model with some grunt.

Things are going global, the mk7 Fiesta was the real pioneer there though, this isn't going to be quite the same as US. I would be surprised to see a hybrid version over here in the UK. We don't have the market for it yet. Focus hybrid, on the other hand, much more feasible.
