From the article:

Enquiring minds want to know why Ford thinks you’d rather drive a Taurus, especially now that American streets are prowled by Hemi-powered Chrysler 300Cs. Ford has an answer, mostly with front drive and all-wheel drive. It has the 2005 Five Hundred...

I saw a Five Hundred being road tested down La Brea toward LAX. The car had no black masking on it, but I could tell it was something new by the big laptop mounted on a pole over the passenger's seat, and the air measuring like gizmos mounted to its roof. It's much better looking than the Taurus. Looks "buffer" like a Taurus that's been weight training. The wheels/tires were wide, and it had four exhaust pipes exiting the rear. Might be nice.
