#5 of 275 Wow! by maxhonda99 Jan 11, 2009 (9:43 am)
Wow! Good looking! This Taurus really has the chance to bring Ford back just like the original did in the late 1980's. The styling is all there, much better looking outside and in compared to most of it's competition. And especially better looking than both the Accord and Camry. Hope the interior materials are at least on par with those 2. And let's it hope it drives as good as it looks!
#6 of 275 Either Taurus or Buick LaCrosse will be my next car by hitman1970 Jan 13, 2009 (7:53 pm)
Both the Ford Taurus and Buick LaCrosse have done fantastic redesign this year. Can't wait to try them both out. I am comparing Taurus and LaCrosse A. Because there will be no Sable and B. The Current Chevy Impala is not close to this at all. Great job Ford!
#7 of 275 Command Seating by ronsmith38 Jan 17, 2009 (9:02 am)
With the new lower roof line, will the high "command seating" be gone, along with the easy entry and superior visibility? Replies to this message: dodgeman07 (Jan 17, 2009 10:02 pm) gregg_vw (Jan 18, 2009 8:01 am)

Replying to: ronsmith38 (Jan 17, 2009 9:02 am) I would expect the "Command Seating" will be retained. Entry and exit ease will not be a problem either.   Visibility WILL be compromised. They've gone to a quasi-300C profile with a higher beltline. The look is sharp but outward visibility would have to be reduced to a degree. Only time behind the wheel will tell how much.   This is a vast improvement over the current model any way you slice it.

Replying to: ronsmith38 (Jan 17, 2009 9:02 am) The roofline is not significantly lower...like the Lincoln MKS, they restyled the same architecture to make it look less dumpy/dowdy. It is still a tall sedan.

Replying to: priggly (Dec 16, 2008 8:36 am) It's about time ford! Instead of your junk Ford Taurus X and the Ford 500, you should of built this first. Then you might not be in the financial disaster your facing now. Who ever designed it you should buy them a house. I like the look, the rear of the car I will have to get used too but it definitely is a start. But $25,995 MSRP? See that is why I bought a Subaru. My all wheel drive will still beat the car in gas mileage. I expect 18/28 for that Taurus.   And when the Crown Victoria police interceptor is retired, expect to see this Taurus with big 18 inch black wheels, a lightbar and siren driving around perhaps your town. That big 20 cubic feet trunk, 202 inch length and Horsepower like the Crown Victoria screams, "FLEET SALES."

Replying to: asdf9 (Jan 25, 2009 2:45 pm) Ford is just fine financially assuming the economy doesn't get any worse. Don't confuse Ford with GM and Chrysler.

Replying to: asdf9 (Jan 25, 2009 2:45 pm) Yeah, I agree. And if Ford would build this Taurus in the first place they would be in trouble anyway. I mean, everyone suffers these days, including the Japanese manufacturers. So don't blame Ford. "It's the economy, stupid!"   I think that all Fords have too big steering wheels. And all American cars, for that matter, The Imports have better designed steering wheels, smaller, and better integrated controls than Ford's design.   Also the Taurus, and many recent Ford designs, have too busy dashboards with too many similar buttons. Recent Honda/Acura's does the same and they get a lot of critics. Remember, the simpler the better. More dials than buttons. And the buttons/dials should be big! Take the Toyota Highlander for an example. How beautiful interior!   I also don't like the fonts (typefaces) Ford is using on their buttons and especially their gauges. But that is my personal taste.

I expect 18/28 for that Taurus.   Those things have nothing to do with each other. Did you buy the Subaru because of the price, the all-wheel drive, or the gas mileage? There's no competitor for the Taurus from Subaru.   Maybe it was happy hour?   1.) The price is fully competitive with other full-size sedans on the market with this level of equipment.   2.) The best Subaru on the market won't match the power/fuel economy balance that the Taurus has, thanks to its AWD. The closest economy comes from the Impreza AWD (20/27 vs. Taurus at 18/28) but is compact, and is down by 93 horsepower from the current Taurus.
