2010 Ford Taurus

[N50]

Who cares about the Taurus, right? Well...it looks like Ford is trying to put some energy into their designs. The engine (EcoBoost supercharged V6) sound promising, anyway.

Sounds like a good plan. It may be a little late to recapture a lot of their lost market share though.

That's a bit better.

finally a body that looks better than the old one...good engine too.

[O HELLA OEM]

Am I the only one that thinks it looks a tad like the new Accord except it's a bit more round edged?

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Taurus....geez. The moniker that won't die! LOL

It could be the Five Hundred instead. I'm not sure which one's worse.

From Autosavant:

"The real news is that Ford is going to bring back the Taurus SHO (although a sizable faction at Ford wants it to be called SVT) and this Taurus will offer as standard a considerably upgraded AWD suspension and braking package, upscale interior with Bluetooth and a stereo with a very large hard drive for storing MP3 files, and the best part, the GTDI D35 TwinForce V8 pumping out a wonderful 415 HP."

On the face of it, an AWD 400hp car sounds great...but it's still a Taurus. Ford: pay someone 5 bucks to come up with a better name.

Haha. Swivel. You have to realize that Ford DID try to get away from the Tauras/Sable names. ie.. Fusion and 500 names were supposed to replace them. But due to the dismal failure in sales, they brought back the Tauras name to try to help sales. Yeah, pathetic I know. hehe

Looks like a Ford Mondeo from Europe.

The Taurus SHO was great when it existed.

Of course, I remember a thread where I was busting your, uh, chops about the name. Might even have been MY thread.
