Default Update to Mondeo XR5

In news fresh to hand future XR5 Mondeos will now come with straigh tail pipe finishers rather than the current downturned units.

Image below (overseas model):





I'm sure that will be enough to sway anyone contemplating one into the buying decision but then you'd better be patient as I gather the waiting time is somewhere around 5 months currently.

Cheers
Russ

Interesting that they would introduce a change this early into the lifecycle. Are you aware of any other "updates" ?
Mind you, I'm assuming that straight pipes would cost less to produce than bent pipes... Cost savings ?

Is there any chance they may bring in other updates, like inbuilt sat nav?

Some countries already get the straight pipes and have been since the start, we didn't so who knows
