The 500 looks smaller than I thought it would be. Maybe its just the angle of the pic...

 

Man, Ford loves that chocolate cheeto camoflauge.

 

Yeah, I remember seeing that camo on the new mustang..

Those cars don't do anything for me. I don't like where ford is going with it, even the mustang is a coin flip with me. The doors are too tall

 

if you don't like the five-hundred,you can always wait for the 2040 redesign.they may even have a new taurus by then also.

 

Wow. :blah: I know J Mays is always looking in the past for his designs but why would he use the Tempo as inspiration this time?

 

They make me do this: :blah:

 

Hey, these designs are bland enough to be the next Audi A6 and Allroad Quattro. On the other hand, they sure are less ugly than the Toyota Avalon and Highlander - two vehicles that Ford is targeting with these products.

In any case, the boring designs won't make or break these products - reliability issues will. The Focus was a funny looking car, but the design was a home run. That is, until the recalls started. (I would still recommend a Focus to anyone - and so does Consumer Reports. It's their number one pick in its segment. Take that Toyota!)

If Ford can make these Audi lookalikes run like Toyotas - and price them like Hyundais - they should be turnaround products.
