Well, I have not long come back from visiting the UK and I can tell you that the new Mondeo is pretty damn good. The build quality is approaching that of Audi, and they have always had great ride and handling. Why anyone would buy a Holder Daewoo or even Toyota for that matter when they are released over here is beyond me. It's a shame they don't sell the S-Max and Galaxy here too.
Now, if FoA could couple the Mondeo's build quality along with already sound driving dynamics and performance in the next Falcon, I truely think it would be unbeatable. |

No surprise there, the outgoing version won multiple COTY awards around the world.

I'm a skeptical about the Mondeo - I remember the last time they dumped them here, what a slug they were!

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

I think it was What Car Magazine in the UK, the Mondeo beat the BMW 3 series (can't remember which one). It was all over the front cover...
