Mondeo rific or not.. IT LOOKS FUCKING ASESOME.. and btw Ford IS Ford so what is the problem of it anyway!

well the ford fusion is the same class as those soo you should look at the fusion, not as bland. Looks alot better imo and is very inexpensive.

@666thedarkside WWII has nothing to do with US vehicles having diesel or not.

The reason that most European Diesels don't come to the States, is because the different measurements in emissions. Both standards measure Carbon Monoxide, Nitrous Oxide, Particulate Matter, Formaldehyde, Non-Methane Org. Gasses, and Non-Methane Hydrocarbons, however, in Europe the restriction on NOx is not as tight as the US in an attempt to have a better control on PM. In the US, NOx restrictions are lower.

@TheZachalope You don't get the high mileage diesels for two reasons:

1) Because Hitler put the fucking Jews in Gas chambers in Europe.

2) But some escaped to the US, spreading like shit all over America.

The Euro standard diesel would meet any US emission regulation.

Ford 1.8 TDCi Fuel Consumption

-Urban: 38.7 mpg. Extra Urban: 61.4 mpg. Combined: 50.4 mpg. (UK Gallon)

-Urban: 30.9 mpg. Extra Urban: 49.1 mpg. Combined: 40.3 mpg. (US Gallon)

Imagine this thing with the Twin turbo V6... damn sweet car.

[Ansett76]

They should let Ford Australia's FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles) division at it....

We are lucky to have these in OZ ....check out the F6 Sedan which would have to be the world's most powerful 6cyl large sedan under 90k (according to Wheels/Motor/Top Gear mags)

This def looks better then previous models.

Beautiful car :D

We don't get the high mileage diesels for two reasons.

1) The mileage isn't really that high. You have to convert from Imperial Gallons to US Gallons.

2) Many of our emissions standards (particularly California) will not allow those engines to come over as is.

But anyway... nice car, Ford is getting better all the time. I personally like the taurus and own one.... wish I owned this one...lol.

Why won't Ford give us the super high mileage diesel that Europe gets? I drove a Ford Mondeo in the UK and came away absolutely excited with FORD. US models not so much still. Maybe Honda will give us a diesel??
