Yea, and to other customers lookin' for the best deal on "toasters on wheels", which is exactly what this refreshed Mondeo represents.
One of the big shots at Ford, VP Jim Baumbick said Ford ain't goin' down that road (outside China, I guess):
We’re not trying to make toasters on wheels. We’re not trying to make just commodity products. It’s all about emotion.
Yes. Because I'd be surprised if they do much different than sharing front/rear ends with the Mustang. ......I'd imagine the whole business case is based on sharing as much as possible with the coupe/convertible.
I feel that'd be a more "worthy"/ acceptable/less controversial use of the Mustang name than Mach E was....
