When the brand new Ford Mondeo Coupe was first brought to my attention, I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing with my own two eyes. The first impression that springs to mind is the startling resemblance that the new Mondeo coupe bears to the current Mercedes CLS model. So, if you could get CLS looks for half the price, wouldn't you consider buying one?
With this latest model, Ford seem to have taken their 'kinetic design' aesthetic to the next level; managing to somehow make the new member of the Mondeo family looks sleeker, sportier and downright sexier than any of its forebears. It stands to reason that Ford would up their game with this latest model, as new competition from the Volkswagen and Vauxhall stables in recent years as upped the ante.
The Passat and the Insignia respectively have made dents in the Mondeo's popularity with the driving public, by using the Mondeo as a template and working around particular niches such as technology, or interior space to try and grab a foothold on the Blue Oval's domination. However, the new Coupe version looks set to blow them out of the water.
Although an official release date is yet to be confirmed, many reports suggest that we can expect the New Ford Mondeo Coupe's arrival in 2011, which is sure to be narrowed down as time develops. One thing is for sure though, if any new derivation of the trusty Mondeo design was likely to increase the popularity of the brand, this new coupe model is sure to be the one to do it.
