I'd suggest that if it was possible for FA to do a HSV style thing getting hold of a few Taurus SHO donks like HSV did for the W1 and put a couple of hundred Mondy's with a V6 TT out there to test the water it might be extremely interesting..
Imagine a Mondeo with one of these powerplants hooked into it or is there some technical reason why not possible ?

Cheers Rod..
I agree. The only snag is our Mondeo comes from Spain which doesn't offer a V6 (specifically the 2.7 TT V6 that the USA gets), and our market down under is simply too small to justify added production line complexity.
