Re: U.S.A.:THE FIVE HUNDRED'S DESIGNERS: It took Ford teamwork to craft crucial sedan
Thanks for the article Stacy...that is a good read.

I quite like the look of the car....although the rear is very Mercedes-ish.

----EDIT----

I just had a look at the rear of it more closely on Ford's website, and I must say that the rear is foul. It is also very much like the current VY Commodore's rear here in Aus.

Ford Futura sketch with noticable 427 styling cues and the same structure as the 500.

I absolutely love the Futura/427 concept. I love that look.

Dunno about you guys, but I'm really hoping the '07 Falcon goes along the same path as the 427. Imagine cruising the streets in a Boss 320/350 powered GT looking like the 427! Ultimate battle cruiser or what!

I like the looks of the 500 better than that of the Futura.
