I think that's the case. Now that design programs are unified we'll be getting new Fiestas, Foci and Mondeos (as Fusions) at the same time as the rest of the world.
IIRC Ford said they're going to operate on 6 year model cycles from now on, with significant facelifts the 3rd or 4th year. IMO this could work well, since I imagine the tiny unnoticeable facelifts Toyota and Honda give their cars don't really do much.
