Default Usa fusion sport.

How many years before we see the new fusion/mondeo here? Sport sounds good with 2.7 engines plus hybrid models. Why FMOCO do we always get to the party late?

I understand there were some issues about where the Mondeo would be built in Europe. Ford built a new factory in Spain, which was the reason for the delay.

It's probably just a facelift with new drivetrains. But no, don't hold your breath - I'd guess 2 years before we see them here.

As stated, our supply comes out of European RHD production. Unfortunately, Fusion Sport is a US-only variant.

I share your frustration - I don't understand what OneFord is meant to be about, if we lose our Falcon but they go ahead and make exclusives for the US

The one glimmer is that it's rumoured that Ford of Europe are working on a Mondeo ST, which may be even more potent than Fusion Sport, and which we'd be in line for. But yeah, I wouldn't expect to see any facelifted vehicles arrive here before the start of 2017.

I guess is it easy to sit here and ***** about it, I guess they know what they are doing and we are a really small market. Just have blue blood and it annoys me sometimes!!!!!!!!
