Maybe, if the Contour was a little bigger but I am not really liking the design we have here. The last car I truly loved from Ford in the US, was the SVT Contour. Great car. IMO they can dump the Fusion and 500 and bring this baby over with a Falcon.

WOw...that 4 door looks NICE!!!! Why don't they bring it here???? If it's too small, make it a bit bigger...gosh Ford, leave America with the ugly generic looking cars while everyone else get's what we should get here.
Gosh...if they stuck their V8 in that thing and made it RWD they would sell half a mil....
Dang it...what is wrong with them!

sports ones will be fun!
the currnet sport mondeo is alot of fun! the police seem to beef them up to about 300bhp so not many peolpe try and run with one of those bearing down!
heres the current spec! prices start about $44k so just a lil over the starting price of the 6sp RX8

Looks more like an Aston Volvo to me, in a good way. Is it on the S40/V50 chassis?

Ditto all the sentiments here. The Fusion isn't so bad looking (well the interior and especially steering wheel are), but no MT on the V6 model?! 
Stupid Ford... But this car... based on the Iosis styling... this is sexy. Like some have said... RWD or even AWD (FWD base model) with some muscle under the hood... V8 from the Mustang GT, MZR engine from the Mazdaspeed 6 or worst case... V6 from the Mazda6/Fusion or V6 from the Mustang... be ABSOLUTELY sure to offer a manual transmission and I'd be sold.
