Not aware of a website, but there is an article in the September issue of New Zealand Autocar magazine. Dont know about your chances of getting that over there though.

I've heard the Mondeo will recieve the new Mazda 4cyl engines. When will this happen next year or a few years down the track?
I think once the Mondeo recieves these new engines Ford Australia should import them, be great up against the new Vectra. Maybe the ST220 could be added to the FPV range.

Yeah I hope the Mondeo when it recieves its first facelift gets the new 2.3L Mazda unit as the current 2L doesn't really have the grunt - especially when mated to an auto.

Will the Mazda 2.3 replace the Ford 2.0 or the Ford 2.5 or both.

If the 2.3 replaces the 2.0 its going to look kind of strange having this engine line up.

2.3L 122kW / 207Nm (Zetec, Ghia)

2.5L 125kW / 220Nm (ST) Not alot of difference.

If they do replace the Ford 2.0 with the Mazda 2.3 they really would need to do something about the Ford 2.5 (ie more grunt)

Would be good for the Mondeo to get the 2.3 as a replacement for the 2.0 but i just cant see that happening. And there be no point in replacing the Ford 2.0 with the Mazda 2.0-

Ford 2.0 Duratec 105kW / 185Nm
Mazda 2.0 104kW / 181Nm

Im still hoping for the ST220

I know ford say a this car is not for towing but is there a towbar which fits the st220 without cutting the bumper?
