Spotted a Tango XR5 on Springvale Rd this afternoon. First I've seen in that colour.

Saw a silver TDCi in Blacktown 3rd Avenue then onto Sunnyholt Rd northbound.

Dealer name on plates was Hornsby Ford, any-one here?

The Sydney Swans have a Mondeo for first prize in their 2008 raffle:

I was surprised to see that raffle since Ford sponsors the Geelong Cats

Woolworths are giving 4 Mondeos [$29,990] away until the 05/10/08 promotion in the free Fresh magazine wonder if Ford is giving these away because
1.Not selling too well
2.New model on the way
3.Boosting TV ads with giveaways
4.None of the above

PedroinTas · 22-08-2008, 05:18 PM

probably because they're LX's and everyone wants to buy the higher spec models

apstar · 22-08-2008, 05:32 PM

I thought the LX was mainly for fleet customers!

Erax · 22-08-2008, 09:59 PM

Re Woolworths - I think 4 - none of the above. Maybe woolworths just wants everyone to shop there and they recognise that the quality of the Mondeo as it has won some awards and may attract (I started writing a rather large piece on economic cycles and our oligopoly position with supermarkets blah blah blah blah blah). Maybe I'll go shop @ Woolworths and have 2 Mondeo's - one for the better half ;-)

Katoomba · 23-08-2008, 11:16 AM

Just took my daughter down to her boyfriend's home in Bligh Park near Windsor and saw a silver Mondeo in a neighbour's driveway.

LRsedan · 24-08-2008, 10:23 PM

paulie0735 yeh your right there

Zippy7 · 25-08-2008, 11:48 AM

Re: Woolies.
Looks like LX without the cruise packs.
Didn't Ford make an announcement last week that they were going to start offering 8% discount to their fleet customers? Whereas previously there was no discount...

So what *was* wrong with the OLD car?

Me - I just wanted a *new* car, and the excuse was that I needed something with 5 star NCAP for the kids...

Nothing really Zippy apart from the V***O using fuel at a rate I literary watched it go towards empty as I left the servo took the Mondeo for a spin to Katoomba part of the world on the weekend from 16L/100km in the beast to 6.1L/100km and that's at more than the legal speed limit so I pushed it all of the way and like you its my first new car in 20yrs very impressed it seems I will get at least 1100km from this tank

Did you see the Mondeo being driven in the new cop show 'Rush'?
Ford is a sponsor so I guess it will feature.

Count another Mondeo in Melbourne. I got mine last Thursday night.

I was at the shopping centre last night, got a couple of second looks from passers-by at the parking lot! :-)

Hmmm, that's an idea worth pursuing. I seen one in Rockhampton that had huge chrome mufflers with maybe 4 inch chrome outlets. Looked a little 'ricey' but it somehow pulled it off IMO.

edit:Seen a XR5 today on Beckett's Road McDowall, it was Thunder in colour.

DRU842 · 07-09-2008, 09:25 AM

Thought bI caught my own reflection yesterday but it was another Mondeo, a diesel; heading east through the Shire

wjf · 08-09-2008, 01:53 PM

Welcome middleman.

I also have a Sea Grey hatch (a TDCi) usually seen lurking around the Melbourne CBD and the western suburbs...

I'm starting to see a few Mondeo's on the road in the last couple of weeks. And it's not just me mistaking the new Falcon as a Mondeo...from certain angles they are eerily similar!

middleman · 08-09-2008, 06:02 PM

Thanks, wjf. I likewise lurk in the Western parts.

And I thought it was just only me mistaking the new Falcon as a Mondeo!

Zippy7 · 09-09-2008, 06:46 PM

Spotted this morning in Sydney - A Dark (dirty Panther Black?) TDCi driving down George St, lined up to turn right into Alfred St in Circular Quay.

Good to see a few more Mondeo's out here in the west. I've seen a couple driving around West Footscray/Kingsville. The Geelong road is always busy.
