Then I wonder why the Parents Five Hundred AWD gets around so well in the snow. I have never driven a more sure-footed car.

I feel the reason the Five Hundred didn't sell better was due to the lack/mismanagement of advertising. The Five Hundred is not big on power, but once you learn how to properly manipulate the CVT, it is suprising just how much power it does have.

That would be a Crown Vic/Grand Marquis.

Just my $0.02
