Purty As A Piture

The Detroit News reports: In need of a face-lift. We know this is heresy among the boy-racer world, but we mostly like the Ford Five Hundred. Oh, not for us, but for folks who wants a big car, it's quite decent. Its looks have been crapped upon, but, again, we think it's handsome (in the way that Harrison Ford has remained handsome). While the front end could use a little pizazz, the rest of the shape reminds of the VW Passat before German cars started looking like Japanese cars. Also, we're glad Ford is going to touch-up the Five Hundred. Ford (and others) need to act more like Toyota and Honda. T & H are all about refinement. The Five Hundred is good (it's safe, it's reliable, it's American—if that matters), but it needs to be put under a magnifying glass to make it better. And it seems like Ford is going to do that.

Wow...something positive about an American car...

...Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
