Answer:
When it's a new Mondeo.
Looks like it's more than engines that Ford are gleaning from their purchase of Volvo.
If you squint at the dash shot it even looks similar.

Except the V50 is on the Focus chassis not the Mondeo... If it was on the Mondeo platform, the bootspace wouldn't have been so stingy!!

Perhaps, but I expect that bits will come off in your hands when you try to use them. V50 vs Focus Estate; they aren't even the same class in my book. I'd love a V50, I'd quite simply not entertain having the Focus. madleee said:

Oh, the engines, don't get me started! I feel that stealing the T5 engine for the Focus ST was one of the biggest crimes in motoring history. Straight five's are ace, and are a major part of what makes Volvo cool. What the hell has a Focus got to do with a staight five, apart from it being readily available from the group parts bin? Moreover, creating the C30 was a master stroke by Volvo, opening up the entire range to a new group of young buyers. Unfortunately the range topping C30 T5 had ben pre-emptively neutered by the Focus ST. I would otherwise have been regarded as the connoisseur's hot hatch, but instead every review I've read regards it as "an over-priced Focus ST".
