So is the names Hyundai, Barina, Kia and so on....but they all sell.
And they're only mud to some. Many people know absolutely ZERO about ANY car till they need one. THATS why mud can still sell.

Is there going to be a diesel with six speed manual? If there is I will think of getting one.

I think it is probably the standard European set up

Ford of Europe has released some Youtube videos of the new Mondeo - presumably in the same (or similar) configuration to what we get here. Looks like Ford have ditched the touch capacitive buttons on the centre stack of the Fusion and replaced it with actual buttons, which is a good thing. Looks like European Mondeos also get a fully digital dash - unlike the Fusion which has two digital screens surrounding a large central analogue speedometer.

The hatch with the panoramic sunroof and DRLs look classy - way classier than the Fusion. I think European Mondeos will also get LED headlights as well, as opposed to standard halogens in the US Fusion. Hopefully the cars we get here will be similarly specced as the European ones.

Also from Europe - the new Mondeo specs, brochures etc are up on the French and German websites. So it seems to be getting closer bit by bit.

I hope the Titanium gets a 10 way drivers seat instead of the current 3 way...

Looks like the UK has Style, Zetec and Titanium variants, the latter available with an X Pack. There's a handy table here with the engine range: http://australiancar.reviews/reviews...ondeo&gen=1124

I wonder if we'll get the 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel...

Six speed manual TDCi is listed on that link. Here is hoping that's not UK only.
