I'm not surprised at all. In 15 months I believe there have been 4 price rises meaning on average Fords list price has seen an increase of 15.2% since January 09. 4.75% feb last year, 3.75% april, 4% in july and a further 2.7% in December. Remains to be seen if prices stay this way once the facelifted Mondeo hits showrooms.(If you can call it that.)
