Ford has an Escort, Focus, Taurus. They used to have the Escort, Tempo, Taurus. Then they replaced the Tempo with the Contour (and oh what a replacement it was).

Actually. The new Mondeo is even bigger than the contour. So it's getting close to the size of the Taurus. Hence, IMHO, the reason why they stopped bringing the MK2 design over, and kept the Taurus. Boo on Jack the Knife for that. We can't replace the Taurus, Noooooooo. 
Since the Mondeo mk3 is so close to the current Taurus, they could easily make it a replacement Taurus...you've got the sedan, like taurus, you've got a hatch, one UP on Taurus, you've got a wagon, like the Taurus....C'mon that name is so synonymous with boring and give Ford such a boring "name". It would only do good to replace it with a Mondy.
