Thank you very much (akirky) you have summarized my sentiments exactly!!!!
 
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.

Something strange here. I just went to the Ford site and copied(cut and paste) some specs for the Taurus as follows:
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?

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.

Does it seem like a lot of Suzuki dealers have folded?

Yes you are both right, but in this case I kind of wasn't wrong. What I did do wrong
was to compare apples to oranges, my figures came from the side by side comparison with the (2009) Taurus se fwd, and the Sonata 2009 se fwd. You are
also right big difference in 2009 Taurus vs 2010/2011 Seems the exterior grew while the interior shrunk. My bad, sorry for the confusion
