Death of the Ford Mondeo - goodbye to him/her
I have read in the Newspaper today that Ford are finishing making the Ford Mondeo! As n immense Ford lover since a young young age - I have seen many of the varying Cars come and go as well as the Family owning many and my Mum/Dad owning two differing generations of Ford Escort
Now the Orion has gone as has the Ford escort - this discredits such ana amazing British Car maker that was famous Worldwide in it's as being made primilary in Dagenham.
I can see Company's points about making savings as Ford say's, but people will always need Cars - at least fot the next 100/150 years I'd say, but to axe making the Ford Mondeo is just utterly beyond belief and words stagger me as to why!! He/She was an name of legend when it took over from the equalu ledgenary Sierra in the early to mid 90s (which was either 92 or 93 if ia m not wrong - though I am past willing to stand corrected on it's year of birth)
Why on earth though axe making such a brilliant Motor is beyond me - the Mondeos held real class even as far back as the early 90s in the fact they had everything modern you could dream of and ran forever (as many had a first life as a Buisnessman's Car or a Rep's Car as my Father's Partner had one through work going miles of the North of England) and many just literally ran forever and still are .... agreed they obtained very high mileage as I have found upon viewing and buying 2nd hand purchases - where I am talking 93'000 to 120k/140k but this choice by ford is baffling, stuipd and crazy in the extreme I feel
They will loose any credentials in regard to new Cars through this I think as the Fiesta is only a small Car and the Galaxy is more "People-Carrier style", other than those 2 I'd struggle to name many more par the Ka, which is in the same Leauge (as good as the Leauge of small Cars like the Fiesta is) if even it is not in another Leauge - as it is smaller in many way's than the Fiesta. Though to think Ford had such an amazing beast that has stood the test of 25 years or near on with Mondeo and the fact you still see many mid to late 90s on the Roads is testamount to taking on the "Buisness-man's Car Leauge" with Rover and BMW, Mrec etc - but now though i'll always always remain a firm, firm ford lover and fan - this move will just ruin such a great, great name I feel and think and honestly sadly believe (though I truly truly hope I am wrong here, but just can not see a point of return if they go-ahead with this utterly stupid move and idea).
