Holy crap! A cool Ford Wagon! But of course not for us.
You've probably seen this already on AutoBlog, Jalopnik or a dozen other automotive blogs/sites, but I have to give it to Ford Europe, they keep coming out with brave new product that has a sense of style.
The new Mondeo, as AutoFuture had pointed out, is taking styling cues from the Iosis concept car, and here is the wagon version. Wagons are not looked upon the same way in Europe, it would be unthinkable not to have a wagon version of almost any car there. And they're not just simple people movers, they're sharply styled with many of the handling and performance options of their sedan counterparts.
Too bad someone in Dearborn can't take their head out of their butt and see that. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Ford has everything they need to turn around from a product line that is truly global, if only they would abandon this "Dave" idea.
Why oh why?!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great looking car with I'm sure great under-pinnings, and they won't bring it here! It fits my needs perfectly! Why oh why Ford-NA? Make some of those "Bold Moves" and make real cars instead of making stupid commercials!
