Default 2008 Ford Five Hundred spy shots

The Ford Fusion has been selling reasonably well, so Ford apparently wants to make its three-bar grille into a corporate design theme at least for its U.S. passenger car lineup. I'm linking because of copyright stuff, but here's one set of pictures that show the grille without tape: http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/09/...dred-facelift/

And here's another set of pictures that show a less-obscured car whose grille is not as exposed as the first car: http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/12/...less-disguise/

i understood spliting the taurus's load onto two separate cars, but why are you about to make them look similar?

in 5 years we are going to end up with no 500 and only the fusion, which begs the question: why did they even bother with the 500?

Subaru's have the ugliest cars made, more so than an Edsel.
