Replying to: tenpin288 (Apr 17, 2008 1:53 pm) I currently have an 08 Taurus with the 3.5 engine. The engine reminds me of the old 3.1 GM I had in an early 90's Lumina. It's got a loud growl when you start it and take off. Once you get the Taurus on the open road however, it's very quiet. The new Taurus's are very nice cars. The styling is too conservative, but you can't beat the safety, options, drive and price.

| How can these people keep a straight face and say that buying a Ford Taurus (ie 500) is good decision??!!? Are you kidding me!?! Ford tried stealing the good stuff out of Volvos and tried to make Ford 500, but it still ended up being a piece of junk Ford!! And what kind of idiot would change name of #1 selling car (Taurus) to a numeric name like 500?? Answer . . . Ford, same idiots that made Explorers with junk front ends, E series vans that rollover and kill church groups and baseball teams, Expositions that catch on fire, Crown Vics that catch on fire when rear-ended (even cop cars!!!), etc. Ford is on their last dying leg . . . let the WHOLE COMPANY RIP . . . and good riddance!! | |

Replying to: kscng (Apr 17, 2008 9:19 pm) Uh... name from the past! It worked for Chrysler so Ford copied it. BTW the Taurus and 500 were being produced at the same time ('05 and '06). Also, the Taurus was never a full size car. The 500 has done pretty well in the reliability department. Its biggest problem was the anemic engine and overly conservative looks. As others posters have mentioned where are you going to get over 250 HP+, decent FE, and tons of room for 21 - 22 K OTD. I'll tell you.... nowhere! The only problem is it will depreciate like crazy, but if you are keeping it over 6 - 7 years that shouldn't be as big a problem. |
