Spy Pics: 2008 Ford Five Hundred Seen Ahead of Detroit Debut

DEARBORN, Mich. — The 2008 Ford Five Hundred was nabbed without its customary heavy front and rear camouflage ahead of its North American International Auto Show debut.

The refreshed version of the Five Hundred is expected to get Ford's new 3.5-liter V6 as well. Recently certified to generate 265 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque, it would give the Five Hundred the horsepower it needs to compete and go a long way toward erasing the "gutless" image of the current model.
