Default Mondeo finished in Aust

I heard a little rumor going around that Mondeo is going to be deleted from Fords lineup later in the year...



Sad given what a great car it is!



Sign of the times with low sales and falls in the Aussie dollar I would say.

I read that it’ll be a diesel base model in hatch / wagon only? Was in the comments section of a CarAdvice article, not sure of the legitimacy of the comment.

Yes until Christmas then that model will be deleted too. (Trying to do the right thing by fleet customers and giving them time to find an alternative).

I've heard Ford will offer Ambiente spec only, going forward. Some rumors that we might even see the eight speed auto and EcoBlue engine introduced.
The new Ford Endura has this combination. Saw one at the dealer this week. Front instruments / steering wheel / door & headlight controls are the same as Mondeo. Made in Canada.

Do I correctly infer from this that FordOz have already stopped importing the Titanium spec cars?

If they have I might have to alter my changeover planning.

Cheers,

We love our Titanium too...



Its excellent on fuel and has all the tech / comfort of a Mercedes.

That’s a shame. I have owned an MC and now an MD Mondeo both great cars. The only downside has been the resell after a few years.

I read that Ford are going to stop making cars, just SUV's in future. Difficult to believe they would do that in Europe.

The depreciation on the Mondeo is a killer though. My new MB lost about 70% of its value in 4 years, so I kept it instead of buying another. Still going strong at 8 years old.

Might look for a used MD soon. I will never buy anything made by the VAG group after Dieselgate.
