Yeah, about that mileage....
Most owners are NOT getting great mileage, but that's probably because they're beating the piss out of them

I like the new one all around better looks. I think the new grill just looks cheep swap it out for a black billet one and be done with it. I think the new hood defiantly looks better. The new tail lights look better I think that car would look real good in black. But its still a FORD.

I like the new better from the rear. The car is huge and I thought about getting one, but I decided on my STS-V. I just wanted a V8. I just love the sound of a V8.

Except the non-sport chassis(dull steering, unresponsive suspension, crappy brakes and heftiness), the "truck-like" seats as stated in Motortrend and Car and Driver(no side support whatsoever), the impressive but still not V8 performance and the essentially redesigned Ford Five Hundred with a chopped roof(less headroom) underneath, yea, great car.

I was speaking from a daily driver point of view.

I'm actually not a fan of the new altezza tail lights.

New front, old rear, new interior gets my vote.

What is its class exactly? I guess the closest thing would be an R/T Charger or 300C, but I'd take a SHO over both of those. I think the SRT8 versions are much more expensive, but I could be wrong. The only other cars I can think of in that size with the performance would be a BMW 535i, or an Infiniti M56. Both of those are much more expensive though
