One of the guys on Miata.net spotted an '05 Mustang and an '05 500.

The picture isn't the best but at least it's a new one.
(at least I hope it is)

That 500 looks a lot better there than in any previous pic I've seen. Maybe because it's near a Mustang.

It just doesn't do it for me.

I think Ford is headed in the right direction, but they really need to help Mercury out!
The Cougar failed, and became a girls car. The Marauder is very nice, but cost way too much, and is just a fast Crown Vic!

Ha! But of course, what better way to make a car look good....Seriously though, the 500 looks almost Benz-like from the side. Not exactly a head turner, but it's no Taurus either. And from what I've seen of the interior Ford is definitely headed in the right direction. Now if we could just get a little more motor.... :bang:

The 500 is an upgrade from the Taurus. I like the design and interior is nice. The AWD option will be really nice too! Should be a great seller for Ford. But, I agree, it needs more Horse Power!
I hope Ford does something with Mercury! If I were in their shoes, I would try and make Mercury very distictive from a Ford. I would make them more sporty and try to market them towards younger people.
I really like the photo's of the 2006 Lincoln Zepher. I am glad to see Lincoln go with a more modern look.

HorsC, Mercury brought in the Cougar to attract younger buyers & attract more women to their product. Which is a good thing. But, it became more attractive to the girls, then it did to the guys. Mercury needed it to be a hit for both sexes, and it wasn't. The Cougar needed more male buyers to succeed.
