When paired up with the CVT, the Five Hundred is actually faster than almost all of its' competition, and runs a very respectable (considering it weighs some 3800lbs) 7.4 0-60 time. That's the same as a V6 Mazda6 ATX runs -- a car that weighs 600lbs less and has an additional 20hp.

I do believe that makes it even faster than the V8 Lucerne that you're vaunting.



I think that 8.9 sec would be closer to the actual.

8.9s is what the Five Hundred does with the 6-Speed Automatic, not the CVT.

The V8 is also more expensive to buy and own. The V6 models are comparably priced (Lucerne is a little more).

The Lucerne is offering old-fashioned features, like 6 passenger seating, but the rear seat does not fold, the steering wheel does not telescope, the transmission has only 4 gears, neither navigation nor DVD entertainment are offered. It's simply outclassed and outdated.
