Some info courtesy of Worldcarfans...

20 year old German based tuning firm Rieger has released a subtle styling package for the new Ford Mondeo wagon that builds off of the standard appearance with something that is a bit more noticeable without being to extravagant. The kit offers a front lip spoiler, side skirts with cutout shaft and rear bumper fascia. All components are available in either ABS plastic or carbon fiber look. The rear bumper fascia comes in three versions depending on exhaust configuration – dual pipes on both right and left side (as pictured), single sport pipe or single downward curved pipe. Moreover, Rieger also offers for the Mondeo a coilover suspension by KW and chip tuning upgrades from SKN Technology.

Seriously, if they want to become profitable again, they need to import some of these european and australian models to the US. Several models not sold here that I've seen I know would fly out of the dealerships!!!

how do you propose they do this??

zero capital. no available loans.
=
no $$ to support on-shore factories. no $$ for labor unions. no $$ for mgmt overhead.

american economy FTL.

BMW is lucky as hell that is has enough capital to develop their north american factories to manufacture 4-cyl. engines as a response to the market.

As they introduce future models, they should use the designs originally intended for overseas markets here. They are introducing new models now (Flex, Fusion a few years back, etc.) But for some stupid reason they introduce the crap here and the nice, sure-to-be-a-hot-seller models overseas. WHY?!?!?
