I read online that they are going to offer a new engine called eco-boost, and the new Taurus is going to have a SHO option. The new pictures shows a vast improvement over the 2009 Taurus with the inside looking very Accord like. I will definitely consider one when I buy my next car. Read More...

Written by: thegraduate on Nov 21, 2008 04:03 PM

This vehicle is updated on Ford's website. Trim levels have been shuffled with a base SE sliding in, and SEL being equipped much like last year's SEL w/Safety and Security package. Read More...

How 2010 Taurus will affect 2009 prices

Written by: pod on Sep 12, 2008 03:32 PM

I consider the 2008 Mercury Sable (or Ford Taurus) to be a pretty good car. The new Ford CEO has essentially apologized for the "homer simpson" appearance and lack of sportiness and promised that the 2010 version will be a much more attactive and performance oriented vehicle. A different chassis, a different enine, etc. Spy photos have appeared that show a major ... Read More...

Not many differences between the 2008 Taurus and Sable. Obviously, exterior styling is different. Here's what I posted earlier: Here are the differences I could find between the base 2008 Taurus (SEL with no options) and the base 2008 Sable: 1) Exterior styling differences that are obvious (grilles, fake side vents on Taurus, none on Sable). I think the Sable ... Read More...

I'm a little bit bored today, so thought I might take a look and create a Pro/Con list for the competitors here.

Why is Ford not advertising the new Taurus

Written by: mschmal on Jan 27, 2008 00:21 PM

Cause they already consider it a FAILURE! I work at a large Ford dealer in conservative affluent NJ Suburbs. Test Drive the Ford Edge, and you will understand why no one is buying the Taurus. People are trading in their Explorers in DROVES for the new Edge. The Taurus is the most boring sedan design on the road today with the possible exception of the new Sebring. ... Read More...

"obviously saving it's money for a great redesign to fight 2009 impala/300C. " Really????? You have information that Ford will come out with something to compete against these cars in a little over a year? Boy, I'd like to see that! ... Hey - look, up in the sky, it's a pig - with wings!

Taurus X

Written by: albook on Feb 25, 2007 07:19 PM

looked at Taurus X on frod.com, and I don't think it's and improvement over Freestyle (looks wise). Just not unbland. The taurus-it's still so crazy saying this name- doesn't look great either. Image wise- I don't want the image of that big bubble top surrounding me! It looks so awkward. Ford was obviously saving it's money for a great redesign to fight 2009 impala/300C. ... Read More...

I hope you are right and that Mulally is a miracle worker. The reasons I am pessimistic about Ford are several. They need a couple block busters and I cannot see where they will come from. Their moves to turn things around aren't doing much so far. The Fusion is a superior car to the current Malibu, but the Malibu still handily outsells it. The Edge is not s superior ... Read More...
