A car passed me on Olympic Blvd. in Bev. Hills, it was a Ford Five Hundred with MFG plates. Was a test vehicle. Only saw the outside.

Sad.

I seem to remember the concept drawings being nice looking with a little style...

The reality though was blander than bland. They couldn't have made it more boring if they tried. It looks like a slightly evolved Taurus....

I almost fell alseep looking at it.

Didn't get to see the inside, only the exterior....but I can't imagine it would have been much better.

Too bad.

 

Doesn't it look a lot like Europe's Mondeo.

I like the CVT on the Ford500. (?? new Lightning's tranny, torque at all times??)

 

I like the Mondeo.

Sometimes we just get car-jipped over here when it comes to what Europe and Australia get.
