Three months and 1500 posts later we are still speculating on and misquoting launch dates, feature lists, remote device support etc.

Authoritative debate on the roll-out of motorway junction 'upgrades' ensues ...
Although the Ford Mondeo* and Ford Contour* share the same basic functionality they have been designed and built separately and direct comparisons between the two and suggestions as to what features each might support should be avoided.
*For Ford, read TiVo, for Mondeo read UK Virgin Media variant, for Contour read US Première variant.

Notice how the Ford Mondeo was designed and named to be a "one world, one car" concept except, of course, in the US where it was physically different, sharing only a few external components (windscreen, front windows, front mirrors and door handles) with its European counterpart, and marketed as the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique.
