The 500 is supposed to be a Passat size car, maybe a bit bigger, with AWD optional.

But, what is needed is a car priced between 15-25 K to bridge between the Focus and 500. The 2000+ Taurus aged quicky and is headed for rental car pasture.

2000 SE fleet, V6, ATX, ABS, no spoiler, T-Green/tan. Built 01/2000 in MO.
Added 12 spoke factory SE rims, K&N. Biggest mod: ESP Plan!
