Re: Mondeo to cease and be reborn as an Outbacky thing

Given the drop in European sales of Mondeo and US of Fusion - arguably self-inflicted due to lack of good updates to the cars since the launch of the current gen in 2012, it was an 'easy' decision for Ford to drop it, much more so than the Focus in particular.
Pulling out of conventional cars is a weak response IMO, an admission that they can't produce a desirable product that sells well. Is the SUV space so much better?
The Focus Active is only about 20mm higher than standard isn't it? Ie back to what used to be a normal amount of ground clearance. No big deal in my book, actually better. SUV's in general are more comparable to pre-WW2 cars before the whole longer/lower/wider thing happened.
