Talk:Ford Five Hundred

message: The 500 name is probably derived from the Fairlaine 500 from the 1960's--This is probably more relevant than references to Fiat. --Pqdave 19:39, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Started up a photo gallery.  Figured we can add some of the photos from the article to it for less clutter.  RegBarc 00:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The name was created as part of Ford's strategy to have more cars start with the letter "F" (hence Windstar being changed to Freestar...and so on). The car is not a Ford 500, but a Five Hundred, as it is spelled out. I have driven these cars and like them, it's a shame they were not marketed in Canada as they were in the US. The name had absolutely nothing to do with Chrysler's 300, as Chrysler had been selling the 300 since mid 1998 (as well as the classic 300). I discussed the matter with a Ford Marketing Rep and he said that it was the only name that really fitted the car, as the the letter F limited ideas...and it worked well, seeing as how ford has used "500" in the past. Not to sound bias, but I can't really agree with the 300 being "weak" in comparison to the Five Hundred, as the Five Hundred hasn't really created any buzz (or win the level of awards as the 300...both body styles of the 300 have won Car of the Year), and the Five Hundred doesn't even offer a V8 (let alone a 6.1...ekk!!), so the fun factor is kept to a minimum. SVT should get a hold of the new Taurus version of this car and drop that 4.6L in it... then you would have a car...that's just my two cents...not trying to hate on the car though. Great Article!

thread_title:  Five Hundred name 

message: There isn't a "see also" section at the bottom of the page for links to other related wikipedia articles like there are on many other articles. Should I create one?. 71.193.162.77 (talk) 01:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No. "See also" only needs to be there if there's an article that genuinely needs to be there. I don't think there is in this case. --Sable232 (talk) 20:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: See also?

message: The Ford Five Hundred is said (not by this article but by many sources (e.g. MSN Autos), even Ford management states so ) to have a European design. Was this model designed with the European market in mind? I'm asking because it was never marketed there (which could be considered remarkable, because Ford hasn't had a model in this segment since the discontinuation of the Scorpio in 1998).

message: In most of the automotive articles I've seen, I don't think anyone has gone as far to find so many quotes about a car.  Although the Ford 500/Mercury Montego went mostly unloved by critics during its production, this section is beyond overkill.  Any suggestions on how to (properly) pare this down to something that could be a bit more neutral; more important, can it be less dominant of the article?  --SteveCof00 (talk) 09:25, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reception section 

message: This vehicle is the exact same vehicle as the Ford Taurus (fifth generation), which is what it was renamed after a refresh. Their differences are not large enough for each to have it's own article, their content is redundant, especially since the Five Hundred was a short run vehicle. Ford Freestyle has already been merged into Ford Taurus X, I propose we do the same here. Reattacollector (talk) 19:14, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
