Default Ford 500... just one problem


http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/FordFiveHundred/

Priced from $22,000 - $30,000 with an AWD version for around $25k.

The only problem with this car, for now, is it only comes with a 3.0 liter V6 206HP engine. No other engine options are available yet.

But it is built off the Volvo S80 and has the very same AWD system that is in the Volvo XC90. I'm sure it will not be long before they come out with a 300HP+ V8 version. This is the great thing about ford, now you can get Volvos and Jags at Ford prices!

"Ford (proudly) admits that Volvo contributed significantly to the Five Hundred's state-of-the-art safety technology. For starters, the "Volvo-inspired" platform offers class-leading stiffness with relatively soft crush zones designed into impact areas. When equipped with Ford's Safety Canopy and side airbags, Five Hundred should earn top crash test ratings."
