New Mondeo

[mondayo]

Can someone/anyone tell me when the new Mondeo is due to hit the roads, in terms of better than "June/July" and also, is there anywhere that you can get a definitive spec from...as in trim, engine and gearbox options?

Check out the Ford website - www.ford.co.uk/ie/allnewmondeo/-/-/-/-/-/-

You can spec up the car and even pre-order them.

All i can find is its a June date for availability.

I had a quick look at that, but couldnt find prices. Plus I get a family discount on new fords, so I'm guessing I'll have to wait till they're officially on sale

This weeks autocar has a test of the 2.5t Mondeo, and its very favourable, here's an online link.

It also seems that Ford are devloping at least one new power source for the new mondeo.

I actually bought my last mondeo new, but I did get (for various reasons) about 40% off the list price. It did still lose a fair amount of money though!

There have started to be reviews on it on tv and in car mags now. The bloke on 5th gear last night seemed to really like it.

The only negative that seems to have come up, is thats it quite a bit bigger than the old one and therefore is quite heavy. I like the sound of the 2.5 turbo petrol, but not the economy and I'm assuming the current (proposed) diesel line up will only be adequetly quick, nothing special?

Anyone driven one yet?
