Thanks apstar.

With the EcoBoost model apparently arriving later this year, are we expecting an "MC II" model in the current bodyshape, would you think?

MOND30 would think so maybe an MC Upgrade in Nov with new engines & autos if available I'm still hoping for the 2.2L diesel

That car appears to be a platform mule.

Update is at least three years off, so lots to come out before then.

The next gen car will be the 'CD4' platform that has been mentioned. The US Ford Fusion will also share this platform as well as the Ford Edge and C-Max?

The $64 question is whether or not the Toreass will adopt this platform as well.

Because there could be some significant changes or hardware in the front end that necessitate the cover

I just spotted that Mondeo EcoBoost is already being promoted on the FoA website:
http://www.ford.com.au/servlet/Satel...apper&site=FOA

The comparison table is impressive - except it lists the Honda Accord Euro hatch, and the Toyota Camry hatch...
