Perhaps old news but in this months issue of SCC it states:
"According to a report in the "Automotive News" Ford design chief J. Mays has admitted teh company is looking at bringing the Mondeo front-drive sedan to the United States, probably as a Mercury, and as soon as next year. The Mondeo, in first-generation form, was sold here before as the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique (duh!) but didn't make it to North America in its second generation, although it's structure is the basis for the Jaguar X-Type. If it gets here, and Ford is good to us, we'll maybe get the sporting ST220 version with a 220-hp version of the 3.0L Duratec V6 aboard."

Looks like it actually might happen this time. We shall see.
