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 photos back up what was learned from earlier test mules. Although most of its sheet metal appears unchanged, the grille is updated with Ford's three-bar design.
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.
