2012 Mondeo

Postby rhys » January 9th, 2012, 9:54 pm

Anyone else seen this car? I reckon it looks damn sexy.

I also reckon they styled from the DB9 and a 2011 XJ. Bit hard to see because of the white but the bonnet lines are similar on the XJ with less buldge.

The fusion has taken on the mondeo platform, I think they are canning the mondeo and calling it the fusion in the US, I think we may get it as a mondeo still. Alot of car blogs are bagging this car out due to its looks.

It confuses my brain a little, but I like.

(Mondeo, not Fusion)

So it appears it has replaced the one with the ranger grill. This does look much nicer anyway.
