That looks very nice. They just need to make it bigger and there is the new Falcon

I'd be plenty happy with it as is, but I hope some of those features make their way to Falcons

I'm assuming it's a journalists error.
Does anyone in the Ford world make a straight six other than Ford Australia???

I hope they dont use the XR5 motor, you dont want every hot euro ford having the same engine no matter how good it is. That V6 they currently have in the ST is very good.

The straight six is from the new Volvo S80.

Nice Engine, that will also more than likely be the engine for the Focus RS* |

Let us also pray they bring the Mondeo here, we need it to compete with the already buzzing medium size car segment. |

Latest speculation is that the next Focus RS will use a 'powered up' version of the ST motor, see: http://www.topspeed.com/cars/ford-focus-rs/ke438.html I like the look of the new Mondeo, it just sits a little too high in the pictures I've seen. ie: there's a little too much room between the top of the tyres and the wheel arches - just like on my Zetec Focus. The Mazda 6 & 3 seem to sit lower. What is it with the Euro Ford's and their ride height ? |

The Mondeo sedan looks horn I would certainly consider it.
