New Mondeo unveiled

100% Perfect

I've never seen a Mondeo as beautiful as this. It may look like the new S-MAX and Galaxy, but this is just the best looking car I have EVER seen in my life.

For me, it has become a legend, and, without question, my no.1 favourite car of all time because it is just perfect on everything.

I just need to win the lottery so I can have one!! :P

No aerial!

Looks like Ford have realised at last that there is no point spending millions designing a car and then sticking an ugly radio aerial on top the roof, which makes it look like a dodgem car. Its only a simple change, but one which makes the car look like a premium product rather than something that belongs at the funfair.

"completely overhauled" - a new grill and some LED's! - I do love the way motoring journalists make it up as they go along!

Oh well, each to his own I suppose

I know design is subjective but I'm not sure where JPW2010 has been all his (?) life. Perfect? Beautiful? Hell, I could name dozens of cars more attractive. Maybe when he realises that like all Fords, it'll be overpriced and will depcreciate faster than a politician's promise.

JPW2010 - what are you on?

A blander, more boring looking car it is hard to think of! Personally i have always thought they nicked the design of the current Mondeo from the old Mazda 626 - do you remember that? They nicked the design of the previous one from VW - although on the right wheels I thought the previous Mondeo was quite a looker. But the current one! Oh dear.

New Mondeo unvailed.
If you hadn't have said, i woudn't have known.
Still has an ugly rear end.

What about the boot lid

The big question that must be answered, will water flood into the boot when you lift the boot lid up in the rain?

A completely hapless design in the past few mondeos.

Selworthy

I have to say for a family car, the Mondeo in its current shape is a fairly good looking car. If you want to see boring, look no further than the latest Golf - how do VW get away with it, time after time?

ZZZZZZ....

There is nothing remotely special about the Mondeo's looks, and this facelift alters nothing, in fact I think the 'new' front end looks a bit tacky! The latest Fiesta shows that Ford can still design a good motor....but this ain't it!

By Lostash on 29 June, 2010, 7:51pm

Looks really good, escpecially the One with the bodykit. However, with the 240PS one, Ford should rip off the' Titanium X sport' badge and replace it with a 'ST' badge.

By MaxedOut on 29 June, 2010, 9:22pm

Yawn

Did the designer have a 20minute job of slight change design on this facelift version! How dull. Sack him...

1% Improved

That oval sticker should be utilised to carry a '1% improved' flash. Totally pointless exercise, but loving the fact that Ford are now saving the executive business man a trip to Halfords to buy some chavvy 'daytime running lights'

By Designer_Drew on 30 June, 2010, 11:57am

New?

Looks like the old one but this one cut itself shaving. What is with them running lights? Above all it's a Mondeo, nothing to get excited about and not a dream car. The old Mondeo 2000 - 2006 was the nicest. I think this one reminds me of the Police car in Home and Away.

By Kingbob12 on 30 June, 2010, 7:52pm

Its just the old car with tacky, stuck-on LEDs and a bit more plastic 'chrome'. Not nice.

By mondeo_man on 6 July, 2010, 3:38pm

Nothing to see here - move along please

More of the same - just a bit more tinsel.

The Mondeo is however a great car - drives well, great package and a few more trimmings in its run-out years will make it better value.
Not sure it was worth an announcement though.

Zzzz

Now it looks even more bloated. Well done Ford!

Ford Fans Rejoice!

Ford fans will love this!
Meanwhile the rest of us can enjoy the great cars from other manufacturers that are on sale everywhere.

By auto_fanatic_58 on 24 August, 2010, 3:04am

I agree it's not exciting or different enough to warrant a news flash but...

...I would like auto_fanatic_58 to tell me what car drives better than the current Mondeo? The Mondeo beats premium models from other manufactures hands down on all aspects of driving and ownership!

I'm not a Ford fan despite owning a 10 plate focus, it just does everthing I need from car, with great handling and a better overall package than the Golf, Seat and Astra I also considered.

By Focus_your_mind on 13 September, 2010, 11:38am

Why bother?

Ford will still equip most versions of this huge car with undersized wheels, although they're not, by any means, the only manufacturer that does this.

By erly5 on 3 December, 2010, 10:03pm

Really Beautiful

This car is really beautiful... of course it looks a little bland compared to more modern shapes like the Mazda 6... but its the best balance between modern and classy. No rush to be futuristic here. Is surely bland in entry level trim...but look at the white one in the body kit. Will turn heads over and again. Will anger the BMW driver whose wife keeps turning their head and saying...wow what car is that?

By kwashic on 28 January, 2011, 4:48pm

Like alot

I love the look of the new Mondeo. People make me laugh how they think the day light running lights are chavvy, but within the next 2 years every car will have them as standard, so get use to it, blame Audi!

Other than that good looking car, i'm really hope one day Ford will bring out an RS Cosworth version like the good old Serria days, would be nice to see a RS500 3 door version. Oh well keep dreaming!

By dan123 on 2 February, 2011, 4:46pm

Boring!!!

Looks like dozen's of other cars on the road! - BORING!

By feedthesoul on 19 March, 2011, 1:05pm

Pants

The 1st 2 comments (should have gone to spec savers),another lazy Ford update,think it's a case of if it aint broke.
The previous model was so much nicer.
Time for a new designer?
