This powertrain competes with the Toyota Avalon. This may be good product for Ford, we'll have to wait and see. Taurus 263hp, 18city 28highway. Avalon 268hp, 20city 28highway. You see the same highway mileage. I definately would consider it, being its $4k less than Avalon.

Replying to: savetheland (Jun 06, 2007 4:25 pm) It had "enough" power, but did not sound super slick and refined like a Japanese Toyota/Lexus V6 or even a Nissan or Honda V6 that all sound smooth and luxurious even when revved hard. I'm sure the lower priced Taurus will be likely seem even worse due to less sound insulation than a Lincoln. A nice engine doesn't have to hide behind loads of sound insulation to mask crass engine noises.

| Ford just passed Toyota in initial quality ratings, what do you think, Ford on the right track? | |

that 3.5L V6 made engine of the year. I still think Toyota has the best cars on the road, but the gap is closing as Toyota quality goes down the American quality goes up. Toyota's quality started to go down because they're growing way too fast.

Replying to: fordenvy (Jun 06, 2007 5:40 pm) It depends what do you want from cars. Camry is certainly not the best car e.g. It is rather mediocre. It is not even good highway cruiser. The only thing good about it is sound isolation (and may be quiet engine). I personally do noy care for quiet engine, still prefer hearing engine and feeling the road. |

I noticed some dealerships are selling used 07 Taurus SE's and SEL's, Were these only available as fleet cars? I like the styling of the 4th generation, Just wanted to get some thoughts on the 07's i'm thinking of purchasing one used, the dealership says they are certified used, I've seen pictures of the 08 models and they are the same as the Five Hundred model, to me they have a boxy look to them.
