This is the first image of the new Ford Mondeo, which is due to be unveiled at the Detroit motor show on Monday.
The image was shown on the Ford iPad app counting down the days to the car's reveal. It will go on sale in America first as the Ford Fusion, before being launched in Europe with very minor styling changes in 2013.
The key detail that the picture reveals is the Aston Martin-esque front grille, which was first shown on the Ford Evos concept, which previews all future Ford design themes, at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show.
