Not quite when the current Mondeo came out it was topped out with the XR5 5 cylinder turbo from Volvo now used in the Kuga, even the standard 2.3 petrol shat all over the diesel as far as performance goes. Now the ecoboiost is the range topper, the only thing the diesel has over it is economy, but take road users and R&M into consideration then the petrol is a no brainer. I can't see where you get your assumptions from with ecoboost (after all, more torque and quicker than a new sisi SV6),, whether you like it or not it is the future of car engines, and these new small capacity direct injected turbopetrols coming out of europe are making diesels redundant. Or maybe you know nsomething that the euro manufacturers don't!

When I was a rep 2.0L meant 2.0L , not 2.0L turbo. Just how well are they selling, beating the Commodore!

Yes if you have no brains you buy the Petrol Top of the range Mondeo is the Titanium with only Diesel by the way one Mondeo we cant get has the Jag/Peugeot diesel 2.2 that makes falcons look slow

Previous model Mondeo, yes the Turbo Diesel was the top of the range model in NZ (XR5 Turbo was dropped before the model finished). The current model, has the ecoboost falcon engine as its top of the range model.

What Falcon. a 3 speed auto XF. Just had a look at the 2.2 Jag XF, 0-100 mid 8 seconds, ecoboost Falcon 6.9 seconds by NZ Autocar, just another one of your wild claims, put your money where your mouth is and buy a diesel out of warranty kitted out with DPD, SCR, with the typical kiwi service history of the first service if you're lucky. Sorry these new diesels are going to be a killer for those wanting an economical 3 year old bargain especially if strict service intervals and specifications aren't adhered to. Fords line up in the US, Europe and Aus over the next few years will mostly consist of ecoboost power because they know they are onto a winner, much like Audi/VW and BMW.
jeeze you ford supporters are slow did you not read your own link here is a cut and paste It will be the last major overhaul the vehicle receives before moving to an all-new global platform later this decade, which will likely herald a V6 petrol powertrain and a shift to a front-wheel-drive layout.
fwd wow and a v6 oh and ya dont know about coft yet do ya come on dude keep up with the play

thing is i am not concerned with what ford replaces the falcon with bcause if i dont like it i dont have to buy it, but in the meentime it looks like i will get a couple of new falcons yet before its demise

Best get buying then befors Ford gives up altogether, Slow sales is whats killing the Falcon noone wants one
technology praisers like chebry dont think long term
their anser is to "buy another one"

For those in the know (and I am - since I work for Ford!) The global platform being used for the future Falcon will be a AWD Falcon with a Turbo V6, and a V8 Option for the FPV. That's what is being tested at this stage anyway.

hopefully it will be a proper V8 like the Nissan & Toyota 302's & 350's
