Replying to: speculator (May 20, 2009 9:21 pm) And my point (which you are completely ignoring) is that Ford has never tried to sell a Taurus like this, so you can't really say whether the buying public will pay this much for the 2010 Taurus or not. Ford's reputation is totally different than even 2 years ago. Ford's products are totally different now. Regardless of your "soda bottle" comments the Taurus interior is head and shoulders above any previous versions. Why do you insist on comparing a $38K Taurus to a $38K BMW or MB? You're comparing a nicely loaded 350 HP full sized sedan to a bare bones stripper compact car with 100 less hp (at least). Someone who wants a full sized sedan won't be looking at a 325i to begin with. The best comparisons would be a Dodge Charger R/T or Chrysler 300C Hemi and to me the Taurus is a much better car and I would certainly pay the price difference for the SHO over those cars. As for folks not paying $38K for a Ford - you must not have priced a loaded F150 or Expedition. They already exceed $50K.

Replying to: speculator (May 20, 2009 7:48 pm) Ok now, I just don't see this at all!!! Those days are over, and Ford has a class leading interior these days, as someone said, better than any Lincoln had prior to the MKS. You obviously don't like Ford period.

My test drive of an MKS proved comfortable, quieter than my Lexus LS430, lackluster power but adequate, the tires should be quality and I don't know where you're getting your octane figures, it runs fine on regular, a selling point for the car. Your opinion is entitled, but it lacks credibility to me.

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/car_shopping/luxury_sedans/2010_li- ncoln_mks_with_ecoboost_first_drive_review Another positive review of the twin-turbo MKS. They are estimating 0-60 in 5.5 and the quarter mile in 13.9. What a torque monster that ecoboost is! They also discuss the revised suspension tuning and additional sound deadening in the 2010 models - called it borderline playful when driven in anger and "truly serene even at triple digit speeds." I will draw my own conclusions when mine arrives but after years and years, it appears Lincoln has built a car just for me. |

Replying to: akirby (May 21, 2009 1:18 pm) Ford’s award-winning soy-based foam seat cushions and backs, for example, will be on more than 1 million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles by the end of this year, leading to a total reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of more than 5 million pounds. Most recently, Ford announced that the all-new 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ will feature sustainable interior materials such as seat fabrics made with varying degrees of post-industrial yarns, suede-like material created from plastic pop bottles, chromium-free leather and engineered ebony wood, all of which reduce waste, energy consumption and CO2 emissions. To ensure these greener material measures resonate with customers, Ford designers are gaining a deeper understanding of the different levels of green consumerism. Statistics show that one in four adults in the U.S. are living more sustainable lifestyles; interested in companies that are more socially responsible and buying products that are healthier for people and the planet.
