What? STILL no satellite radio from the factory?
 
What IS up with FoMoCo and Sirius? GM puts XM in darn near everything that moves.
 
Oh, well. Matters not much to me, I'd rather have a PNP3 anywho! (PNP3: Aftermarket portable from Audiovox that also can be used as a home unit with the proper cradle and antenna)

Antennas imbedded in glass have much poorer reception than mast antennas. Ford, keep the mast antennas, please! Don't compromise functionality for style ever!

Will MY2006 500/Montego get a Fusion style grille?

A few questions.
 
1. What, if any, are the differences between these two cars?
2. Has the problem in the ordering/getting the AWD Montego's been resolved?
3. Will incentives ever kick-in on either model?
4. How long have people waited on their ordered AWD cars?

That's odd...... neither one of my parents BMW's have ever had any reception problems. Neither has my brother's Volvo for that matter. FoMoCo....compromising functionality for style... NEVER. At least relocate it to the rear of the car OR give it a roof mounted whip antenna.

Have you got the link to your source for the MY2006 Ford Five Hundred changes?
Also interested to know changes to the '06 Freestyle, if any.

Not everything official is on the web. I am pretty sure the information shared with us is not official as of yet...and you aren't going to find such a link for quite a long time...months, not weeks....

OK I realize Ford is not about to officially disclose the MY2006 changes in their website for retail customers at this early date.However the order bank for '06s have just been opened for fleet operations.Just hoping that some resourceful person can find out more than was mentioned in #2539, or is that all for the Five Hundred and also for the Freestyle.
 
Right now even some good "hints" will suffice.Another thing I want to add is that the '05 Freestyle Limited FWD ( which unfortunately was Not Available) was originally very well packaged in Canada as everything was standard equipment except for AWD & DVD.That was too good to be true.
