2005 Ford Five Hundred

Good news and bad news here. The good news is that this is the best large Ford we can remember. The bad news is that this is the finest large Ford we can remember. In other words, this is a much improved car, but it is not going to be a segment leader. The reason is simple. The engine is just adequate and there are no optional choices, and the exterior is too bland. Both of these can readily be solved, because the beauty of this value leader is the chassis and room the Five Hundred provides.
