The ad says "4wd" but I'm not 100% sure if it's an AWD or not, and no mention of which engine (2.5 or 3.0) but even just being a 5-speed has to make it a unicorn in the US. If it's AWD and the 3.0 it could be pretty fun to toss around. Reliable? Probably not, but who cares at this price.

Looks like there is a 2.5 on the right side of the trunk, and possibly what looks like an AWD badge on the left.

Oh my.... This is very tempting.

The google says 5x108. Not shocking, but 114.3 would have been cooler. 

I have the stock wheels from my wife’s FoST, maybe I should join the Jaaag contingent of Gastropods??

In reply to Cooter :

Ah, yeah. I didn't look at the badges closely, but you appear to be correct.

Even with the 2.5, I bet it would be fun. It's based on the Mondeo platform, so it's *kinda* like an AWD SVT Contour. laugh

If anyone gets it I have the 3.0 version.  It’s been a good car so far.  Shifter bushings are mush and there is some work to be done on the suspension.  I just double ordered the good bilsteins for it so I can pass them along at cost instead of returning them to Amazon.

The 2.5 is barely adequate with an auto.  In a manual it is "ok"  The 3.0 really wakes these cars up and really is the motor of choice.
