Is it just me, or is the Ford Forty-nine absolutely beautiful?

It's OK, but I'd prefer a porsche....

BTW- There's a boobie in the playboy banner ad if you keep refreshing the screen :)

what I was gonna say. it looks like a retro style sedan, but with smoother lines and more subtle accents.

I like it.

It looks like one of those cars you'd see at Epcot Center...like back in the Eighties. Epcot Center sucks.

edit: I think that concept car inspired the design of the new Ford Five Hundred, which is set to replace the Taurus next year.

Ooo, I like the 500!!

The 49 is pretty cool, in my opinion, but some of the lines are just . . . wrong. I mean, I see where they are coming from in imitating the old school muscle, but old school doesn't mix well with soft curvy lines.

But, that 500 is good-looking! What would be even awesomer looking is if the have the sable like the same thing except with the bar of lights in place of the grill like the Sables of old (i.e. mine) and cover the top of the rear wheels. That would be a worthy replacement of my 1991 Sable.

Never seen a pic of the 500 before, looks pretty good.
