Gotta be honest, I'd roll it.
Don't look forward to working on it, but I'd roll it.

^ Agreed. It looks like a pretty sharp car, much sportier looking than previous years IMO. And I like that the A-pillar mount tweeters actually point towards the passangers and not aimed towards the windshield like most factory tweeters that are mounted there.

What, you mean the Mondeo? The car I've been waiting for Ford to bring over here for ages?!?!? Yes, it's about damn time.
If Ford can sell those cars like hotcakes to snooty image conscious Europeans, it should be an even easier sell to Americans who would otherwise want to buy Japanese cars. With any luck they will bring the new Focus over as well... it's pretty slick, and the ST can fly too
And they are bringing out the new Festiva next year as well. It's about time we get compact cars back, since our compacts have grown to fullsizes. Today's Civic is nearly bigger than the Accord of only 10 years ago

My buddy had a 90 sumthin Taurus SHO and it fn hauled! No arm twistin to get me to roll wid it!
As for the Festiva..... I want them to come back with the baby blue and pink pinstriping like on the old models. I worked with a dude that drove one with blacked out windows and a Canadian Tire alarm in it. The only reason not to laugh at the poor guy was because he was slow inda membrane!

The body looks amazing on that. As for the interior, still standard Ford junk.

To be fair to the car, it is just a taurus. Not a luxury sedan
Still doesnt look bad though, I want to see it in person though.

I've always wondered why Ford of Europe appealed so much more to me than good ol' American Ford. Glad they are finally bringing the nice ones over

Euros demand higher quality cars, while amaricans demand cheaper. That is my take on it..
