The irony of course is the Ford 500 is one of the most Soulless cars in the world.

Soulless and Mazda in the same sentence without the application of the word 'not'?
You've obviously never driven a Mazda.

Crimoney! While my Nissan Maxima is in body shop for getting damaged in a weather related thing, the body shop gave me Mazda Protege for a free loaner car during the repair time.
This is just an average little automotic tranny, LX, sedan, that has a big old gaping hole in the dash where the radio was before a burglary, but all the other accessories work fine. The Protoge has almost 90k miles on it, and it is an absolute "ball" to drive around town. It handles beautifully, It's engine I believe is just a little 120 horse 2.0, but it really gets up and goes!
I'm actually going to miss driving it around. The darn gas gauge moves so very slowly. It's heartening in these times.
The car has its front wheel covers missing too.
Just one downside beside not having a radio. The last person to use it must have smoked like a choo choo train inside the car, and the car reeks of cigarette smell. My sinuses have been killing me.
Anyway..........Mazda's are fun to drive. It's like having a poor man's bimmer. Parts are cheap to replace to.
We have one of the last of the MPV vans, and it has been running flawless. No CEL's in 40k miles from this 05 MVP.

So by 55miles/gallon I take it you mean 55kilometers/gallon?
Ford 500 has a new EPA estimate of 19/26. With user submitted gas mileage having a high of 30mpg.
You're comparing a full-size family sedan to a sports car. What the hell are you smoking, cos I want some.

Seems that the majority here need their sarcasm detectors adjusted.
