As for your question, the Chrysler 300 offers a very nice (much nicer than the Ford) full size AWD vehicle for $30,500.

25 percent, 55 percent and 35 percent of each vehicle line, respectively --
higher than initially anticipated." source: Ford Motor Company






"Ford's Affordability Advantage
Affordability is a key driver in Ford's growth in AWD vehicles sales. AWD
models of the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego are priced as much as
$5,400 less than the least expensive AWD-powered large sedan, while the Ford
Freestyle is more than $3,100 less than the closest AWD-equipped crossover
utility vehicle.


Ford Five Hundred SE AWD $24,595
Chrysler 300 Touring AWD $29,995 +$5,400
Volkswagen Passat GLX 4Motion $33,190 +$8,595

Mercury Montego Luxury AWD $26,795
Audi A6 3.2 Quattro $41,074 +$14,279
Infiniti M35 3.5 AWD $43,010 +$16,215
Acura RL 3.5 SH-AWD $49,470 +$22,675

Ford Freestyle SE AWD $27,470
Buick Rendezvous CX AWD $30,655 +$3,185
Chrysler Pacifica Touring AWD $31,605 +$4,135 "
