I just know my friend from church was looking at a 2.5S/Convenience, but a competing dealer had the 2.5 with leather, moonroof, and DVD-Nav added aftermarket, and it was "on sale" for $2,000 cheaper than the competing 2.5S/Convenience Pkg at the first dealer.

Ford's keyless start (available in the MKS and 2010 Taurus) is the most advanced of any system because it's also tied in to the disappearing keypad in the B pillar. Not only does it automatically unlock the doors when they're touched, the system DOES allow you to lock the fob in the car with the keypad - but it disables the fob at the same time so a thief can't break the window and drive off. When you use the keypad to unlock the car it reactivates the fob. Now that's a handy feature. Replies to this message: stephen987 (Jan 12, 2009 6:18 am)

Replying to: akirby (Jan 12, 2009 6:11 am) I remember starter buttons on cars built before WW2, and some even into the 1950s--with doors that didn't lock. The KEY was a terrific advance.   Thirty years into the future, someone will invent the KEY all over again, and it will be hailed as the greatest advance since the electric starter.

I know it's technically a large sedan, but, this car is sweeet!! Great job Ford! Interior is identical to the MKS, but, who cares! Exterior styling is great too. I give it an A.
