Default Anybody know what's happening with Mondeo wagon?

Like the thread title says, does anybody know if it's coming to OZ - and if so, will it have a diesel option?

Another forum member said it's been on sale in NZ since last year. It seems disappointing that it's not here, seeing as there won't be an FG wagon. It would also be a nice alternative to a VE wagon, particularly with the TDI option.

someone at ford was recently qouted as saying their looking into bringing it here, as the falcon wagon is now aimed predominently at fleets, they acknowledge they need something more stylish to compete with the new commodore wagon.

fingers crossed it comes here. ill take an xr5 turbo one thanks.

To quote Mullally's response to the FG, "I want one".

Yup, been in NZ since December/January, local dealer says its doing very well too. They are well priced and look great in the flesh.

I saw a black one on show inside a shopping centre with the full XR5T kit and Focus XR5 copies in 20". It looked so incredibly damn hot.
Now I'm going to be a right moron and say I didn't get pics.

Did you see it at Westfield St Lukes in Auckland, I saw that and yup, it was stunning. Makes the upcoming Commodore SportsWagon look like crap IMHO.

Nah, I saw it at Bayfair at the Mount in early January. More than likely it was the same car though. I couldn't stop gawking at it.
I agree, the SportWagon's a boxy beast compared to this thing. You could fit more in the back too.

Now that I would like to see, I read a road test article that said the 20" Alloys are a factory option

can't wait for the TDCi and I5 to arrive, the 2/2.3 are just too slow.

Ah, okay. I did read on the spec sheet on the window "Optional 20" rims" but these weren't Ford branded wheels, so I just guessed the dealer stuck them on.

Yeah, the Tdiesel and 5T should net some more buyers, the initial engine line up was disappointing.
