If there is an '04 Mondeo, it will not be "compromised" and have no parts shared with the old Contours. It's coming from Europe, where it "has only gotten better". Isn't that what a lot of us have been screaming for?
Oh, and where did the Contour come from ???
It too, came from the Mondeo, way back in 95, restyled in 98, and had SOOO MANY PROBLEMS, because of the US goverment CHOKING it, and Ford's cost cutting measures, that it ended up being a wet bag.
Mecury Mondeo will be a THINNER Wet Bag, that is dressed up a little better.
FORD will NEVER learn from its mistakes.
