There is nothing wrong with the 500. It could use a bit more "substance" for my taste. But it's appealing to a different demographic. It certainly is a solid car. The fit & finish is equal to many luxury cars. Its also available with all wheel drive.
It shares the underpinning with the freestyle (psuedo-ute). Both vehicles were developed in part with Volvo (owned by ford.)
While you and I aren't crazy about the 500, there is a good chance our parents would dig it.

I think it looks pretty nice

almost 90% of the cars out there aren't built for speed why should an entry level ford be?
