Anyway, the Mondeo is awesome, and Im sure Fords targets are not massive.

edit: my mistake about the platform, would have thought that would have been common by now, Regardless, it shows that the Mondeo is a great car.

Go and look on youtube for mondeo + topgear.

Precisely...most vehicles in this day and age are all very similar for reliability.
Marketing and perceptions play a big role on what people buy. I have a little more faith in Ford getting the marketing right with mondeo this time around, besides the meduim passenger market is a very different one to when the previous mondeo was on sale.
It was like the previous corolla, one review said if people actually drove the corollas competition, they wouldn't have bought a corolla!
All good about the platorm...many people are confused about it.
I can't wait to drive the mondeo...
Many Holden fans on GMI were predicting Ford couldn't or wouldn't price mondeo competitively, they did and did a great job, lets hope they follow through with marketing.
LuckyHolden has a the strong selling VE, otherwise they have no other vehicle in their range they can fall back on, they would wanna hope the orion doesn't eat into Ve sales too much.
I think Ford has the better long term focus than Holden in relation to overall product offerings at this point.
