Mondeo is actually advertised on Ford UK's website for less than the Focus.

I often wonder about the disparity in price between Focus-Mondeo-Falcon,
the price jump is ridiculously big. I can understand Focus at around $20,000
and the Mondeo around $28,000 but Falcon at $40,000 is way too expensive.

I think that the current rash of Mid $30,000 specials are backing up the fact
that Ford and Holden searching for a +$40,000 volume sales is really fool's gold.

Ford, having healthy results elsewhere, will be able to absorb this. Some other makers will struggle to match this.
