Default Mondeo to Fusion fm 2016?

Will Ford stick with the Mondeo name or risk it with Fusion change?
Does Kuga or Echosport mean (F) is not important?
Do you care?

I believe most of the world will continue to use the Mondeo name.
The new Mondeo was previewed as the "All-New Mondeo" at the Sydney Motor Show.


Its "EcoSport" not "Echosport".
What do you mean by (F) is not important?

The car is marketed under the Mondeo name where it is designed and built in Europe so why would they change to the American name?

Ford just have to solve the factory politics problems and get the new car on the showroom floor.

Well if the public get to SEE the Fusion they might start asking for IT.

I hope so, I drove a 2013 Fusion, Taurus and an Edge in the US a few months ago, absolutely loved them all... If they bring even one of them out here I'll be lining up on release day... lol...

I doubt there is such a thing as a RHD Taurus unlike Fusion/Mondeo.

I'd prefer the Fusion name. Most people I know screw their nose up at the name, their stuck thinking of the mondeo of old.

....probably. Supply has been a real issue equating to lost sales.
But now Falcon is on the exit ramp, who knows how this will change the equation.

Pics......right place, right time, smart phone in pocket !!!
