Whatever was said about the "Mercury Mondeo" is possibly available on the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter web cast (Ford part) at their auto conference for security analysts at the New York Auto Show. I couldn't sign in as a 'foreigner' for the 60 day trial, even after e-mailing them directly. The important thing that was said was that would only take a year to 'federalize' the European car. I would like to know the 'tone' of what was actually said!
