Agreed the C5 type of diesel would be great.
But you have to remember that the C5 and Mondeo are in totally different market segments - both buyer demographics and price ranges.
Also, the higher power diesel may not have 'excess' production capacity to warrant trying to bring it to Oz as a regular product line ('tho i can't see how a few hundred units a month for Oz would make a dent in Euro prodn volumes).
....another missed opportunity IMHO.
Sad too about the lack of Ecoboost for Mondeo just yet.....after Falcon (as I predicted on 12 Sep!!)
With this one, I would like to think Ford Oz have there marketing back to front. They could bring it in for Mondeo, tell/show people how great it is, and then make it (also) available in a rear drive platform aka Falcon.
....another missed opportunity IMHO. (echo echo echo...)
Guess I won't need to dreamily desire the unobtainium whilst driving in my boosted 5-pot !!
....And still no obvious perfmance-biased model.
So, back to Snoozin' in my Silver....XR5.
