And I will, again, say that Ford calls it a full size, EPA calls it a full size, I call it a full size and I believe the average consumer would call it a full size. So for the sake of this discussion thread....I'm through talking about the Ford Taurus. Now the Lacrosse, as you say, may be a little harder to define. It has moved into near-luxury market positioned against the Lexus ES350 and has pretty much taken the place of the Lucerne. So I'm not sure it fits into the mainstream of this forum. The old Lacrosse certainly did but the new one has grown significantly in size and price. I agree with you as to the Regal. That may very well be a good fit for this discussion.

Replying to: backy (Oct 19, 2009 2:01 pm) This appears to be across the board, as the CVT with the 1.8L in the Versa has been a problem too. And, depending on the vehicle, it's very difficult to buy a 6-speed manual without a special order. For example, my next door neighbor's daughter has been looking for a Cube with the manual, and only 4 exist in a 200 mile radius. It appears their stocking percentage for manuals is less than 5%. I've driven the CVT in the Altima, and in the Murano - both rentals, and I like the transmission. But, the continued horror stories of major replacement costs, and rumors of expensive periodic fluid changes scare me away from one for my own use. |

Replying to: akirby (Oct 20, 2009 5:55 am) It is a fairly large car for today's standards, according to FO MO CO specs: Length 201.8" Width 74.5" Height 61.5" Weight 3741 Interior volume 108.0 cu ft (not 101 that someone mentioned) Cargo space space 21.1 cu ft with seats in place total interior 129.2 cu ft Just for comparison the 2009 Sonata is EPA rated large mainly because of the interior volume which is 105.4 cu ft passenger and 16.4 cu ft cargo total interior, 121.8 one of the largest in it,s class not length or width but weight and Int volume. Substantial difference, I compared them to each other to make a purchase. Thanks for the reply.

Replying to: 8babies1dog (Oct 20, 2009 9:57 am) Wheelbase (in.) 112.9 Length (in.) 202.9 Height (in.) 60.7 Width (in.) (excluding mirrors) 76.2 These are the same specs Edmunds has on it's site for the it. I couldn't find the weight on the Ford site but Edmunds has it at 4015 lbs. These numbers are quite different than yours. Are you sure your numbers were for the Taurus?

Replying to: m6user (Oct 20, 2009 11:17 am)  m6user: Yours are also the stats I found at carsdirect.com. That site lists the Taurus as having 102 cu ft of interior volume (identical to LaCrosse, very close to Sonata and Accord) and 20 cu ft of trunk volume.
