I agree on the Mondeo and also wish Ford would sell them here. You have to wonder what white-line-marketing-think keeps the crap here and the vehicles like this over there.
As for inclusion in a Bond, no surprise. Ford sponsorship would be much greener than anything they'd get from exotics. We're lucky it isn't a Camry.
Bonds have always been commercial friendly, but IMO they've become way too heavy with product placement. Basically one long set of product spotlights interspersed with explosions and bits of dialog. Hell, even my young family like the old movies better.
