Where a manual is not proper for most variants of the Five Hundred, it would be a nice offering on a Montego RS. However, the most drastic need for the pair is a serious dose of style inside and out. Whether you say it looks like the last-gen Audi A6 or the 1986-1991 Taurus, the car was outdated and dowdy from the drawing board.

"Bold Moves" needs to be more than a slogan. Ford actually has to make them. (and what is up with picking that nasty American Idol flop as a spokesperson :barf:)
