How does the 2005 Ford Five Hundred compare with the similarly-sized Ford Crown Victoria?
The Crown Victoria is based on a decades-old platform and features a V8 engine and rear-wheel-drive. It has a wheelbase that's about two inches longer, and total length is about 12 inches more. The Five Hundred is more than three inches taller, but the Crown Victoria is three inches wider. Interior dimensions are similar, with the Five Hundred scoring higher in rear legroom, but the Crown Victoria ranks higher in front legroom.

Since the 2005 Ford Five Hundred is a new car, will Ford wait to offer any rebates or incentives?
Unlike the redesigned Mustang, the Ford Five Hundred isn't in extremely high demand, so Ford is already offering minimal incentives on the vehicle. At the time of this writing, incentives consist only of low interest rates, but it's safe to assume that it won't be long before cash rebates are offered.
