So German "enthusiasts," those 10,000 people "lack taste" for not buying European, right?

But wouldn't the Ford Mondeo be British because it was made in the U.K.?

It still wears a Ford badge, though. Does that mean that the select BMW and Mercedes vehicles made here are American?

ohh just bugger off you bitter old man! WTF is wrong with you?
Nobody have said anything bad about the Mondeo! Some people don't like what they are doing in the US (me included), but european fords are both very good in terms of quality and handling.

I didn't say anything was wrong with it!

And I'm only bitter that America continually gets short-changed by our own automakers...

Sounds pretty bitter to me!

I would say this car is European.
Built, designed, engineered in Europe.
Nothing American at all.

Sailor, calm down. It was a joke you loser...

You aren't real good at the joke and sarcasm thing... You should stop it...

And though it was a joke, it still has some bitter and for some unknown reason resentful connotations to it!

The new Ford mondeo looks fantastic... I hope they bring it here. I like where ford is going with their design langauge.

same here but there are slim chances of it heading to the us due to currency manipulation, (i think the euro is becoming weaker against the USD) and more loss of money.

The Euro is becomming weaker compared to the USD? When did that happen? The dollar have been falling steadily over the last five years or so! It was almost on a 1:1 exchange rate with the euro, today it is something like 1,6$:1€... That is part of the reason why european cars are too expensive for the US...

America will not see the Mondeo in the form of a Ford. Reportedly the next Mazda 6 will be our Mondeo.

The pound is so strong against the dollar...1.98$ per pound...that makes everything so cheap for me in the US.
I really should go and buy a ton of stuff.

LOL... Well... Not trying to start an argument here, but I think the US would have been better off if GWB had stayed ON the bottle! Al Gore might have been a boring man, but at least he had a whole brain... GWB doesn't even know how to give a speech without making a fool of himself!

Gore would have been better for sure. I'm thinking of this replacing the Fusion in a couple years. Mondeo is a simply fantastic car. The reason i bought the fusion was for looks and it handles great but this is wayy better

I was just calculating the price of the Mondeo and it will cost at $28,655.25 for the base model only in the USA now u guys kno why they aint bringin it. They will have to strip all the features which then makes it pointless

I think you are forgetting that you still have to import goods aswell, and a weak dollar will mean that you have to pay more for imported goods because one dollar is worth less to other countries today than it was five years ago! If it wouldn't mean huge inflation and economic instability, the US would love to increase the value of the dollar... But since no one would buy it, you'd end up like russia a few years back when the government went bankrupt!
