Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 12, 2009 9:13 am) For the MKS, is it normal for the side mirrors to pivot forward as they are seen to do in the crash video? I mean, is this a designed movement or a result of the crash? |

I did look at the MKS with no real prior interest, and I could just not get past the shape and styling. of the thing. But I agree it is a good effort for now. And enough people do seem to like it. |

| I think the Taurus looks smart in the photos, but I haven't seen it in person. Does anyone know if the trunk opening is larger? | |

Taurus SHO at the Atlanta Auto Show last Sunday, and I was impressed with its looks...it was on a roped off platform, so could only see it from 6-8 feet away, whereas you could sit in most of the cars there... I have been a V8 fan for many years (more than I will admit to you guys), simply because it was usually the only way to get enough power to rapidly move the vehicle...not race-car, mind you, just that V6s rarely had over 225 HP...I know there are some exceptions, but not thru-out all of auto land... Also, I intentionally do not count turbocharged engines, simply because if the turbo ever breaks, you are stuck with an engine that may qualify as a paperweight... Now, I am not so sure about V8 anymore, and to say that a V6 car cannot be "true luxury" is, IMO a silly statment...I have changed my tune...I think of the 3.6L Caddy direct injection which puts out around 300 HP, no turbo (gosh, I hope I am right in that statement!!!)...that engine will probably make its way further down the GM line over time, assuming that GM HAS a line of cars over time, as I expect them to kill Pontiac, Saab, Hummer, Saturn, and either kill Buick or merge it into Caddy, and merge Chevy and GMC trucks into GMC trucks only...GM will become Chevrolet, GMC trucks, Cadillac and Corvette... Anyway, I had always thought V8s were "it" because that is where the power was...now, with V6s performing like V8s, the actual existence of a V8 may be superfluous... |

| I saw the New taurus at the auto show and it was nice but it wasn't that amazing like the pictures Ive benn seeing.But it wasn't the SHO so maybe I'll be more impressed with that one.I saw the Ecoboost MKS and it was sexy as hell much better than the Taurus.The shocker was the MKT its so sweet,much shorter and lower than I thought,it actually looked kind of small to me.MKZ was nice too,the new grill and tail lights look sweet. | |
