Agreed that the 2010 Maxima has been out longer, but I asked out Sept sales only.
 
I don't think its fair to compare yet because there aren't those many 10 Taurus' at dealers yet. Longer term I think Taurus will easily outsell Maxima, but the large car market really hasn't been that hot the past few years. Maxima is more of a niche car compared to Altima. Taurus will likely fall in between.

Well, when referencing how many you've seen, it's relevant to know how long they've been on sale, not just which sells more in a given month.

Already seeing 2010 Taurus SELs selling for 22,800 plus TTL around me with an advertised sticker of just barely under 29k.
 
I knew this would happen, and told everyone, but the faithful blue oval boys just wouldn't accept it.
 
I wonder if they'll be closer to 20k next spring?
 
This is not a Taurus exclusive thing: Now that Cash for Clunkers idiocy is over, I'm starting to see bigger incentives on all new cars.

Well, I'll state my point again. I drive the interstate 2 hours every day of the workweek. I'm a car guy, so I notice cars. I've seen one 2010 Taurus. I see 2010 Fusions all over the place!!! I began seeing the new Fusions almost immediately after they went on sale. Are the new Taurus owners afriad to put them on the road? This car is the next version of the Ford Flex, too expensive for something with a blue oval on the front. Styling is good, much better than the old model, but the base engine is uninspiring, interior room not much more than an Accord. Good luck to Ford selling this car without huge incentives. As a side note, I've owned several Fords in the past, and I'm eagerly waiting on the new Focus to arrive.

Post the a link to a copy of the ad on here.
 
AWD SELs have an invoice of $27,500 and even if you total up all the incentives you only run up to $2,500 dollars in rebates. Most people won't qualify for the $500 early order one or the $500 military bonus or the $500 college grad rebate.
 
Holdback on Fords is 3% of MSRP so 870 bucks or so. That comes out to a net, net, net price of about $24,130. I can see going behind a little bit on an ad car but not almost $1,400 dollars behind and not on a mid trim level newly redesigned car like the Taurus SEL.
 
You go that far behind on a left over 2009 that is a stripper car and not newly redesigned. Actually you go more then that much behind on a 2009 but $1,400 behind sounds about right for a 2010 super base and not newly redesigned model.

They've only been in showrooms for a month or two. The 2010 Fusion has been out since March.

And I saw 2010 Fusions on the road almost immediately when they went on sale. They are easy to spot compared to the 09's. Where are the new Tauruses? In hiding? Waiting for better weather?

Ford sold about 5,100 new Tauruses in September. That was more then 2x the number in August as production was just ramping. Maxima sales have ranged from a low of 2,300 up to 5,900 over the last 10 months with the lowest months tracking the industry trends.

If those were all 2010 models, then that was a good performance. September was a weak month.

2010 Taurus SE by nomoreford2

Has anyone seen the $25k base SE model on the road yet, every dealer I go by only has the SHO or Limited. Most Taurus you see on the road from previous years are the SE models and looking at the specs of the 2010 SE, its features are not that far off from the SEL.
