Default Re: Fusion or Mondeo??

What a brilliant looking car! FoA would have to reconsider the sedan, now that it is that much more appealing. I eagerly await to see the first drives of the 1.0 Ecoboost version, if they pull that off.
Where will ours be sourced from? I can't see Spain as a sustainable source, unless they continue to import just hatch and wagon- things like that to limit volume/demand.

A pattern is amerging

What is interesting is the Falcon name has a similar sound to Fusion, and I found a pic of a Fusion and the front quarter headlight/grille section appears to be identical to the the sneak clip of the 2014 Falcon at the motor show.
I was trying to attach theses pics but was not able.

I think the Americans made the mistake of assuming these vehicles were for the US market,
Looks like Ford Australia is doing some altitude testing with what looks like Ecosport and Fusions in tow..

Apparently Ford wanted to give a few of its offerings a mile-high workout. That would explain why Autoweek reader Brendan Bartolo was able to catch a fleet of four vehicles parked, hoods open, in a Denver hotel parking lot.

Full-body camouflage can't disguise a pair of 2013 Ford Fusion sedans, but we have no way of knowing what new technologies may or may not lurk under their conventional sheet metal.

Even more intriguing is a similarly camouflaged Ford EcoSport crossover. Built on Ford's global B3 platform—which also underpins the Ford Fiesta and B-Max wagon—the EcoSport will be assembled at both Brazilian and Indian facilities.

Like the look of this small crossover? If you live in the United States, that's too bad. Ford plans to offer it in developing markets such as China and India—even Nepal gets the vehicle—but it won't make its way to America any time soon.

Also of note is an un-camouflaged Ford Ranger T6 pickup with a regular cab parked next to the other vehicles. Ford currently sells a crew cab version of this small pickup overseas, but like the EcoSport, there are no plans to put it on dealer lots here—for now, at least.

Ford wouldn't camo Fusion that's already released in the USA...
And they wouldn't use a Ranger as a support vehicle either..

Who knows how old these prototypes are? We've seen plenty of vehicles the world over in camo doing some sort of testing post-unveiling.
