[QUOTE="Gino, post: 1421041, member: 13235"] it is very impressive, however Ford will have to add more powertrain options to compete a little bit better with the German's in the future. I think (posted this before) it'd be great if it were offered with a variety of motors and transmissions. an SMG automatic tranny for instance, with the option of say the N/A V6, a blown one maybe, and also a V8. I mean, look at Audi (this thing looks to be A4 competition)-- they offer multispeed auto/manual/smg transmissions with a variety of turbocharged motors (I4's, V6's, V8's). I think this thing is a start in the right direction, but it needs [i]more[/i] and hopefully with time it'll get just that. you should know best of all [b]Kevin[/b], people like selection and choice these days. luxury cars in this segment are like fashion accessories-- everyone wants to customize their own. I'd still take an A4 1.8T Quattro or an S40 T5 AWD over the Five-Hundred... they both offer 6-speed manual's, SMG trannies, and boosted engines. Volvo's Haldex All-Wheel Drive system is definetly a plus for this thing though, thank god it has that and a 6-speed auto... not so keen on the ZF CVT tranny, but its all good I guess :-D [/QUOTE]
