Hi all,
spotted this in a german Car magazine online. The first few pics in the Gallery show the 2012 [in Europe], Mondeo. Looks great,....so we should see it here in 2013. Just in time when the change over is due for mine ![]() http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/n...t-3908892.html just an update on how the car is going: done 78000 km since Sep last year due for its 3rd set of tyres in about 5-7000ks[ the Dunlops I put on were good but are getting noisy] need new rear Discs soon, rear pads replaced as I write this Sunroof switch faulty or some bugger of a Gremlin in it otherwise all good ![]()

It's evolution there. But they will continue to be a flash looking car.

Wow
thats one good looking Mondeo, but knowing Ford Oz, it will never make it here. As apstar says we dont even get the 2.2l

It's an update. I think it's 2015 before they come out with a new shape.
Some of us here were invited to the special focus groups where we were shown the concepts for the next Mondeo. And some of the bits on that car were on the concepts, so it's moving along.

Yeah i think i remember reading on Xr5t.com that they've canned the engine due to not enough sales/ emission issues? Hopefully not! Its an impressive piece of kit.

Atleast you can sit back and know that you've got one of the last 'series' of the 5T. Give it a few years, the depriciation will be minor and you should get good resale.

Both of those CGI's look great, better than the focus.

Chances are the next Mondeo will not look like that chop. How accurate are the chops/renderings of Auto Express? They said the 2011 Focus would look like this. ![]() ![]() I wish they make it look more like the Iosis Concept. ![]() ![]() Last edited by AG3; 24-07-2011 at 06:55 AM. |
