During the Paris Show I talked to a few Ford PR's who informed me among other things, that the product version of the Mondeo concept will be officially revealed to the public during the 2007 UEFA Champions League soccer final match in Athens, Greece on the 23rd of May 2007.
Of course we've already seen how the production vehicle will look like through a dozen or so pics from the "fake" model that will play in the James Bond movie -click here to see a large-sized gallery: Carscoop.

According to Ford personnel, the company has just started pumping money into the engineering department as it doesn't want to be left behind in this area.
Don't forget, Ford is probably one of the few remaining companies in
