It reminds me of the FG2 Falcon and Territory and it’s sliding sales, suspicion of Ford making no effort to sell and market them, seems like the same story here, or multi brand franchises steering people to other makes and models(?).
I guess it's partly because Mazda 6 has just recently been updated, and the best seller in the class - the Camry - had an all new model about 18 months ago. Mondeo is aging, although it's still a great car, and still (to my eyes at least) very pretty.

It's sad seeing Ford so far adrift like that.
