I can't imagine it would take that much to make it meet US safety and emission requirements. As a matter of fact, we should have the Mondeo over here ae well. Maybe Ford's US market share would improve?

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-02-22 16:40	I've read that European cars are simply too expensive for the US market. IIRC, Ford had to reduce the manufacturing cost of the first-generation Focus by something like three to five hundred dollars per car to make it commercially viable in the US, so a lot of its refinements had to go.
