Well, to be honest it is not that exact car, but it was the only image I found with a quick google.

First impressions are good. A very solid car.

BTW you can get pretty much that same car here in the states. In the EU it is a "Mondeo", here is is called a "Focus ZXW", starts at around $17K.

Actually, I like the look of the Focus.

Ford = Best trucks on the market. Dodge trannies blow, Chevy steering boxes are still weak. Toyota is a close 2nd.

Nice ride. Its actually badged as a "Ford" proper in Sweden?

That's not a Focus but Mondeo; size is closer to Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable than Focus.
Nice car with very good handling (cops are having plenty of Mondeos here), bit old model already but also free of small bugs new models sometimes have.
Very good purchase IMHO.

Edit: Mondeos were also sold as "Ford Contour" earlier in some market areas; maybe in US too ?

Yup, Its got a big blue ford-mark at the rear. I suppose the bolsheviks will try to lynch me now for supporting the US war on Oil..or something.

Oh well...
