TRYING TO BRING BACK THE SHO IS STUPID. IT WAS A PIECE OF CRAP BEFORE, AND KNOWING FORD, IT WILL BE WORSE NOW. STICK WITH YOUR CRAPPY FOCUS, AT LEAST ITS CHEAP

Why doesn't anyone see the possible need for GM-FORD and CRYSLERS manufacturing capacity in the possible event of WAR. They were indespensible during WW ll.

Perhaps they could have shed the stigma of the name "Taurus" if they had only harkened back to the previous name of their flagship 4 door sedan - the LTD. Alan - this is your old buddy Mike from Boeing. Change the name to protect the innocent. The name LTD carrys no stigma and exudes class.

I have owned 5 Mercury sables. My current model has 232,000 miles on it and did not have its first repair until 199,000. I drive it every day and its reliability is important(I'm a salesman). I feel sorry for some of you guys who got a lemon(my first 4 weren't nearly as good as this one). Cars in general are better these days and especially Fords.

The 1996 Ford Taurus had to be one of the worst cars ever made. After that experience - I never bought another Ford product & probably never will.They would be smart to forget the Taurus name and just move on.

I'm new car shopping, but it won't be a Ford. The past two Tauruses I've owned have had coolant/ head gasket issues. Too expensive to replace the engine even though the car still looks new. Cars ought to last long enough to pay them off. I'd like to support my country's economy by buying American, but I can't afford to, so I'm shopping for a new Honda.

dont drive a truck if you dont need one!! — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 16:51:33 GMT

If Ford wants to resurect a car, it should not be a freaking tuarus. First off the name was ruined when they made that spaceship looking mid 90's ugly ass taurus that was really popular for some unknown reason, probably because the people who buy ford are retarded anyway. The only thing they make worth the money is their trucks. No boby can beat an F-Series! As for cars, buy a freaking japanese (or even a freaking korean) car that will last until you have grandchildren and buy two, cause it will still only cost you $26-$40k for two of them!!

I hate ford, gm, and chevrolet cars. the only thing that american automakers can do well is build trucks. period. and if you dont NEED to have a truck then drive a freaking car that gets 30+ per gallon and stop wasting gas for no reason!!

With all of that settled, let's go out and buy some Fords.

While I will concede that this car is a little bit pricey, there is no doubt that it is one of the nicest new cars to hit the market. Anyone who rags about this car simply doesn't know anything about it. It is not like any other Taurus. It is not like any other Ford! This car uses many new technologies not even used in the Lincolns yet. Take this car around the block and then try to tell me that you don't like it. The EcoBoost engine is one of the best engines you will ever use. It has already won many engineering awards. Match that up with Fords new 6 speed tranny - and you are in cruise control nirvana. Speaking of cruise control, it automatically adjusts to the car ahead of you, and you can even set the distance between the two cars. I too was skeptical about the new Taurus, and was about to order a new 2010 Milan, but now I am seriously considering getting the Taurus Limited instead. This car is simply amazing. I read a review about it last week and they were NOT pro-Ford but they still said they loved the new Taurus, even more than the Lexus and BMW's. Spend 5 minutes in the car, do a little research and you'll too see how truly incredible the new taurus is. With all of the new technology in this car it will easily win car of the year. Ford just needs to lower the price a little, especially in this economy.
