The fight for the future of the family car starts here with the new Ford Mondeo

This is the new Ford Mondeo.

Revealed at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit as the new Ford Fusion, the Blue Oval has confirmed it will continue in Europe as the Mondeo and will hit UK shores in the first quarter of 2013.

Prices are yet to be confirmed, but rest assured, we will bring you a great Forces discount. The new Mondeo is striking looking, with more than a hint of Aston Martin at the front thanks to the newly designed upper and lower grilles, separated by that DB9-esque central number plate bar.
