I was going to say the same thing... mas malapit siya sa Mazda6 kaysa sa bagong Ford Fusion... it reflects the different aims of Ford Europe and Ford USA.

Call me Pierre... I want this one more than the Fusion.

va-va-voom!

The answer is no.
The all-new Ford Mondeo is built on the new Ford-Volvo developed EUCD platform. This was designed to accept inline engines including Volvo's turbocharged inline-5.
Different variations of th EUCD platform is already being used by the all-new 2007 Volvo S80, Ford Galaxy MPV and its sportier sibling the Ford S-Max.

EUCD platform uses a similar architecture to the C1 platform of the Focus(Volvo version is known as the P1), this is why it was known earlier as the C1-Plus platform.

The Mazda 6 uses its own Mazda developed platform. The USDM Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln MKZ use an expanded version of the Mazda 6's platform known as the CD3 platform.
