Stunning is such a strong word...

I would say stunning for a Ford... but pretty nice for a car.

Re: Is it just me or the new Ford Mondeo looks absolutely stunning?

I've been teasing a Ford fanatic on a forum calling it boring

My reasoning: (agree to disagree)

Rear from a Galaxy also has hints of Lexus/Mazda6

Front has hints from Lexus GS series but also heaps of Mazda influence.

Finally it will sell and become a figment in the crowd within a month

BTW I have see it in flesh at MIMS so I do have 1st hand experience

ps Passat maybe boring and conservative but thats how I like it

Re: Is it just me or the new Ford Mondeo looks absolutely stunning?

I don't like it (like any other Ford) not because of the brand name but because all Fords have MEDIOCRE written all over them.

Re: Is it just me or the new Ford Mondeo looks absolutely stunning?

I like it, the wheels have an Italian look to them. The exterior does also, to a degree. If Ford bought this over it would make the Fusion irrelevant, I know which one I'd want. I don't know why Ford's U.S. execs won't give us a Euro themed car like this. Memo to Ford: Look at what GM is doing with Saturn!

Re: Is it just me or the new Ford Mondeo looks absolutely stunning?

I think it looks good too. Still would take a Passat though - it just has everything - DSG, supreme engine, quality and refinement. The Ford just looks good.

Re: Is it just me or the new Ford Mondeo looks absolutely stunning?

It isn't stunning but it is a very nice looking car. Love the front, and the side view, but not the back. The rear end looks a bit flat and it ends too suddenly. I am not a fan of the interior design as well. It just doesn't have that premium look of other eurpoean cars. It has far too many buttons and odd shapes

Re: Is it just me or the new Ford Mondeo looks absolutely stunning?

I really like the front of the car, but at the rear, it looks awful to me!

Also, not so sure about that interior, way too much plastic!

I'm sure it will sell well, but I much prefer the passat!

Re: Is it just me or the new Ford Mondeo looks absolutely stunning?

Damn! Now how I'm going to buy that new Volkswagen Passat I like it so much? Oh well... I guess I'm going to have to keep the Vectra for three more months until June (new Mondeo will arrive in Britain in June) and compare this new Mondeo to the Passat.
