A product of Ford 2000 was the first genuine global car, the CDW27. The car was a result of a need in Europe for a mid-sized family car. However, the market potential for such a car was only 250,000 units a year. The CDW27 was designed to sell an additional 100,000 units around the world so the cost of its development and production could be spread over more units. In Europe the car was called Mondeo, and it was called the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique in the U.S. The car cost $6 billion to develop and is being sold in 59 countries.

to bad the CDW27 flopped here for the most part stupid Ford Taurus (people would rather have opted for the FT rather than the FC at the dealership)

The full title for the platform is CDW27. I took the 27 out, I think it sounds cool "I love my 27!" ala my sig.
This includes the Contour, Mystique, Mondeo and Cougar and I think it goes as far as the Escape, Tribute and Maverick too but renamed.
