#312 of 530 Taurus!!!!!! by clecayenne Jul 18, 2007 (6:25 pm)
I love the front of the new Taurus! But the back of it looks exactly like the back of the 500. Whats going on there? Replies to this message: gregg_vw (Jul 19, 2007 4:55 am)

Replying to: clecayenne (Jul 18, 2007 6:25 pm) Although there are significant engineering upgrades, it is the 500 body with a few mid-cycle updates. The 500 and Taurus not only look exactly the same from the back, but also when viewed from the side or from a balcony (top). Given the miniscule styling change, the new engine and better NVH characteristics, along with the Taurus name, will carry the water for this model.
#315 of 530 Camel interior on the Sable. by mschmal Jul 19, 2007 (9:36 am)
The camel interior on the Sable comes with absolutely the WORST looking fake wood I ever saw. Its almost yellow to match the seats and it hardly even attempts to look like anything other than colored plastic.   What makes it worse is this band of yellow runs accross the charcoal gray dash!   Attention ALLAN M. FIND THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE AND FIRE THEM.   Mark Replies to this message: gregg_vw (Jul 19, 2007 11:02 am)

I saw new Sable yesterday on freeway. Looks wierd. Montego was much more elegant (and name was better too).

#319 of 530 Motor Trend article by scape2 Jul 29, 2007 (9:11 am)
on new Taurus was actually quiet positive in the September issue. Over 500 improvements have been done to this sedan and they are noticable. Cabin is very quiet to interior materials/fit/finish. They actually claim the Tuaurus "is back". Name familiarity has proven to be a big one for consumers/voters alike. I believe the name change will bring more people into the Ford showroom if not only to take a look at least. The 500 once had a great name but it was generations ago, most would not remember the 500 of yester year. I guess once again, only time will tell as to what the consumer thinks.
