Actually, it's here now. I saw one last week up close and personal. 'Bout the size of a Taurus....which it replaces....

Linky



I test drove one the other day, my ex has a taurus, had a 96 and a 2002, the ford 500 is by far different in height, and if i am not mistaken has a longer wheel base. and longer all together, not sure on width. Interior looks cheap.
