Do I correctly infer from this that FordOz have already stopped importing the Titanium spec cars?
If they have I might have to alter my changeover planning. Cheers,

You and me both. I was planning on buying an updated MD Titanium next year. I'll be having a very close look at the Skoda Superb now as I won't be purchasing any type of SUV. I will be keeping my 2015 MD Trend Hatch for my wife. |

No more Trend / Titanium, other then what is in stock. I doubt there would be many Titanium's left.

@AlanD, DougalXR6 -
Check with your dealer, they may be able to special order the Titanium. At least that's what was claimed in the comment I read on some CarAdvice article (likely the same one @dannyhilton mentioned seeing). |

May be possible, but, I suspect, a very expensive option that would put it well above our likely budget. Our current car is an ex FordOZ executive vehicle which we obtained at close to $20,000 below the retail new on road cost - given that sort of depreciation it's not likely I will ever drive another brand new vehicle. I understand the economics from FordOz's point of view, but this decision is going to lose them a long term customer, I suspect. Two of our neighbours have recently moved to Skoda Octavia Wagons and seem to be happy about that - having travelled in one of them it looks like a contender. Cheers

The last episode of The Grand Tour for 2019 (S03E14) was on the same subject - that it looked like the Mondeo was not-long-of-this-world in the UK either.

They are basically a Czechoslovakian built VW. Would totally recommend, but for the first 100,000 k's only. |

Have to say it's shame to see the Mondeo finish. Ford will now now longer offer a sedan for the Australian market.
We had a MC Titanium hatch with the EcoBoost engine. This was a car that drove in a way that belied it's size. Highlights for me were the excellent front seats (firm but very comfortable for long distances), the huge boot space and the standard technology for the time. This car was an excellent long distance road trip car, clearly designed for high speed euro roads. The Ford Mondeo....... a great car that know body knew about.
