The first near-production representation of Ford Europe's new kinetic design styling direction, introduced with Iosis concept in Frankfurt, hit Paris this morning in the form of the Mondeo X concept. Ford says the new Mondeo — which the concept hearkens — is crucial to its line, sharing architecture with the S-Max and Galaxy, and will be built in Genk, Belgium. It's also quite hot in person, though comes off somewhat like a Mazda6 clone in the photos. Don't be fooled.
