I can't see Ford NA ignoring the midsize market for much longer. The 500 is a step up in size from the Taurus and that leaves a big gap between it and the Focus. I also don't see the 500 or anything like it replacing the Mondeo. It's just too big for the Euro market.





Ok, Ford won't be ignoring the midsize market any longer because the Fusion will be filling that void. I've even seen articles calling it the sucessor of the Contour. So don't expect the Contour name (or the Mondeo platform) to return to the US. But let us all hope that the Fusion will be bestowed an SVT model in the near future!!!
