2007 Ford Mondeo

England's 4 Cars site has a review on the 2007 Ford Mondeo. If you saw the recent James Bond pic, Casino Royale, the pre-production Mondeo featured in the Bahamas scene stole the show almost as much as the Aston Martin later in the film. Supposedly this car would be too expensive for the mainstream if sold in the USA. Too bad. As is the normal practice, a huge range of engines are available in Europe. The most interesting to me is the 2.0 liter diesel. It seems to have well-balanced performance with 0-60 in 9.5 seconds, 130 mph top speed and 47.5 mpg (european cycle) -- not bad for a family car.
