I think they should drop the 500 Altogether. Use the new Mondeo as it's replacement, rather than reskin it and call it the Taurus. I think that new Mondeo is a really nice car, and I beleive it shares its architecture with the Volvo S60, as the Foci is an S40/C30.
They would likely sell well, as they do look like a very upscale vehicle in contrast to previous Ford sedans.
I think though, that the QC from Hermisillo (sorry, spelling) is very good. As are the cars built at the Kansas City plant too. My ZX3 was built in KC, as was my dad's Topaz, the contour we had, etc. All of which had/have very good fit and finish, and few problems.
I think Ford is on the right track, or knows what they need to do, they are just moving a bit too slow.
