I don't know where you're getting your information regarding Jaguar's reliability ratings...but they're dated at a minimum. Yes Jaguar used to be known as the Mechanic's Nightmare...but that was prior to Ford. What Ford has done for Jaguar's quality is nothing short of a full-fledged miracle. Before you wrongly continue to malign this brand's quality image, ... Read More...

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...

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...

Car sales of large cars are all down this year versus last year - The Impala is way down, but is really a midsize based on interior dimensions, but is the top seller of the cars listed (152K for this year so far versus 210K last year at this time). The Ford Taurus at 36K this year is now outselling Avalon 31K (Taurus sales are down (36K for Taurus vs. 42K for 500 at this time ... Read More...

For all its legitimate merits, something’s missing from the Taurus—and whatever it is, it’s probably fatal. Hopefully with the redesign in 2010 they correct many of the shortcomings of the current car and can seriously compete. Like you noted though, for the money this car is a great deal. FE is great for a car of its size and I don't think any others in the class ... Read More...

Re: Taurus vs Azera observations [louiswei]

"Boring ripped-off Audi" is a bit needlessly hostile in my book. Speaking as a fan of the Azera, I always have liked the Ford's exterior more than most people do. I was always a big fan of the Passat's lines, and the Ford is clearly just an enlarged version of them, which means it's automatically more tasteful right off the bat than 75% of the Big 2.8's output. The styling ... Read More...

while it is difficult to defend any British car in terms or reliability, I believe that you can point to the degree of sophistication in Jaguars (just like BMWs and MBs) as the real culprit for that checkered reliability. If there is one thing that Ford did help Jaguar do it probably is improving that reliability. Hyundai (as well as any of the other Korean mfgrs.) ... Read More...

Thank goodness Hyundai did not buy Jaguar. Jag is pretty and runs fast, but has very low reliability and very high repair costs. It would not help Hyundai become a really big player to saddle itself with an expensive, low volume, unreliable car. Read More...
