The Five Hundred roof line appears to be a Passatt rip-off.
But the grill/headlights are ugly. The CVT with AWD sounds
interesting; I wonder how it works in real life.
And what's up with "Command Seating"? Does Ford marketing
really think this is the 1950s, and consumers buy into silly
marketing phrases? Or was P. T. Barnum right, that there is
a sucker born every minute?
AWD in a mainstream car proves Audi's foresight, but it also
makes them vulnerable to loss of sales.
