Backward technology by mschmal

I think the new features for the 3.0L Duratec were thing that Ford developed for the 3.5L engine and then has adapted backwards to the 3.0L.

The 2001 Jaguar S-type had a 240 hp 3.0L Duratec version. Mazdas have had a variable valve timing version for a few years now. Also, remember the 3.5L is a new and completely different design compared to the old 3.0L Duratec. Not sure where the new '09 Ford Escape 240 hp version came from. Its difficult to follow, but the design history, dating back to the 1994 Ford Mondeo, is at Duratec history to now link

Ford's own website says you can only get $2000 owner-loyalty rebate (which means you have to already own another Ford/Mercury of '98 or newer model), or you can get $1500 cash rebate for non-current Ford owners, and then you can add $500 to that if you finance through Ford Credit. Nowhere near $5000. You might be looking at what some dealership contributes extra, which means they just jack the price up by the extra amount, so you can't win that one.

I received my Taurus X in May and drove it cross country ( Florida to California). It was great and such a comfortable drive especially with 3 kids. I haven't had any problems with it. The only thing I didn't like is that I was not able to purchase a box for the roof rack. Manufacturer does not recommend having one on the vehicle. Overall I really love my TX.

My Taurus X has been great for the six months I've had it now. Everything about it is wonderful. I've driven it 2500 miles across country on a mountain biking trip with camping gear and four bikes on the hitch. It had lots of room, we could even see out the rear window. The comfort was like riding first class for everyone. I've also taken the family of five on trips, and also had six bikers on a two hour carpool with six bikes on the car (four on the hitch, two on the roof) all six big bikers in full comfort.
 
The electronics are super, as well as the car engineering.
 
The Taurus really is a secret phenomena that's a super deal right now.
 
See more details on my very extensive review of the Taurus X here.
(PS. My Taurus X Limtied is Ice Metallic Blue, not red like in the pictures.)
