And what about the X-Type isn't that the same platform?

I'm just throwing this around in theory so no flames please.



Crash tests aren't the only thing, you also have to get DOT approved headlamps, sidemarkers and taillamps, none of which exist for the Mondeo, a MPH speedometer, which you'd have to get from the UK, and the biggie, EPA OBD-2 certification with OBD-2 diagnostics, something ELSE that doesn't exist.

The X-type would be too different to qualify. Ford will never bother to ever re-certify the Mondeo, the market simply does not exist for this car.
