yes i would definitely buy it. i have to say Ford has really stepped up.. they have some kick ass good quality cars.. I love this new Taurus, that Escape, Expedition, Explorer, Flexx is reallynice too wow.. amazing
The 2012 Ford Taurus will only get better. Remote keyless entry system with keypad, AdvancTrac Stability Control, illuminated entry, particulate air filtration system, and tire pressure monitoring system.
@blueskysiii Considering the base price of a taurus is 25k, and an sho model is 35k, I don't think you can get a better car with that much. This has features that aren't even available on all luxury cars. It's even got a sun shade, rear heat and cooled seats, all the info said in this video, and it looks good doing it.
@gunzkevin You aren't looking hard enough. If you look at the options available on the SHO, and the prices associated with each, you will learn that there are MANY cars that have offered that before, and MANY that offer all those features for less than what FORD will sell it for(with much longer warranties!). Owning a Ford was never a status symbol, and even with all the Toyota angst, Ford is still the poor man's car...ergo, $45K is ludicrous....Ford Service Dept. isn't equipped for "service".

@blueskysiii Ok well show me these MANY cars with as good of interior, with all the features you could get on an sho model that costs 45k. Please do. And who cares if it isn't a status symbol, not everyone has to show how much money they have.
@gunzkevin youtube is full of comparisons, but the one that jumps out at me is the Acura SH-AWD. Why buy a Ford when you can own a luxury car...A REAL one I mean...Ford should stick to competing with Chevy, and save themselves from the ridicule of trying to compete with real cars...I mean, let's face it. Ford 's stewardship of the Jaguar, Aston Martin, Volvo, and Land Rover brands proves that Ford and luxury just don't mix...They sold Volvo for $4B less than they paid for it in 1996.....

@blueskysiii Ok well considering ford hasn't sold all of volvo, I would expect it to be less. Ford still owns volvo. Ok so I just built an acura on their website fully loaded and it came out to 49,490. I fully loaded a taurus sho as much as I could and it came out to 46,458. Now that is with adaptive cruise control, brake assist with collision alert, blind spot indicating system, rear heated seats, 20" rims, sirius travel link, sync, a rear sun shade, and a 390 watt 5.1 dolby audio system.
I went to this show and Ford blew all other makers out of the water. I couldn't believe how many people were checking out the Taurus; people from all age groups (obviously the younger groups were checking out the SHO with its 370 hp). I've never seen this much hype for a family sedan, but you have to admit it's a nice car.
FUCK yeh. Fuck all that automatic sissy shit, why people think they're fly or why the race automatic I have no idea they're just dipshits. Str8 the fuck up, you the man !!
You do know that automatic is more optimal for straight away drag racing right? You upgrade not only the engine but the transmission to grab the gears at the right moment.
On a straight away, you don't need to shift unless you're running dayatona 500 or Lemans dumbass!
I like stick to because I plan on daily driving on roads with curves. You don't need a stick on the drag strip. Tune your transmission and computer to effortlessly snatch gears at the peak of power.
YOU'RE the one who mentions sissy no curves sissy drag bitch shit.
I'm all for form & function. What's the point of making a ride if there weren't any corners in the world ?? You make me facepalm madly..straightaways my ass you and your sissy full throttle straightaway shit.
I'm sorry, they could of used a hell of a lot better speaker for this...that guy was terrible. It would of been better if he were reading off a piece of paper
I knew it!!! They looked to Europe for the engine design. No American car gets high horse power and great gas mileage at the same time. BMW is number one at that. And BMW just introduced their AWD 700 series car. Sweet shit
WOW! The Ford Taurus is sooo nice. I can't believe Ford and Buick. They are for sure putting their name back in the car industry for top class luxury and sports cars. The Taurus is looking fresh, and is definitely one of my top choices for a car.
well its a fullsize luxury car. it's the midpoint between ford and lincoln. just like the toyota avalon is the midpoint between toyota and lexus and the maxima is for nissan, the midpoint between nissan and infinity. So in this category this car is fairly cheap considering the fact that those other two cars start in the 30 thousands base.
They already exited the guy...just like they did Gresens right after he finished the Ford Flex project...Fastest way to get fired at Ford is to take on the job of Chief Design Engineer...funny how all the guys getting fired are black...What's that all about?
its a black thing, it has nothing to do with designing shitty cars. Oh wait, it is because they are shitty designers and its coincidence they are black. As a side note, GM's Camero was done by a black guy, and its an insanely hideous car, pos car.
dude shut the fuck up i dont give a shit if u r white or black. i hate chevy and the camero. stop being racist. and enjoy the video. ohhh and chevy was made BY A WHITE MAN.
I'm sorry, but this guy is an idiot. He complains about all the good features that make this car stand out. I suppose he drives a Bangle BMW or an atrocious new Honda Accord.

This car looks like an ordinary car. From the side it looks like the tail lights are from the Galant. Car designs these days are all looking the same, especially when it comes to head and tail lights. Their running out of ideas now.
Whats up with people saying that ford is unreliable? What about Daewoo? People said that that was very unreliable, i still have mine over 150k on it and only a few parts that broke. I have pics on my myspace
Ford went beast mode for 2010. Did anybody see the fusion? I cant believe what im about to say but im actually thinking of geting a ford (Fusion) If of course that i check it out and it is as good as it looks
no, Mercury is staying completely intact (save for that one model). several of Mercury's models (the Milan, Mariner, and Grand Marquis, specifically) actually sell fairly well.
That may be true but why doesnt Mercury have its own unique models they wont last long with just rebadged fords even GM make it buicks differ from chevys in styling the need to revamp Mercury fast and kill all the marketing to women.
by basing their cars on Fords (what may be called "brand hierarchy"), both Mercury and Lincoln save a lot of money on product development and facilities. This money that they save means they don't have to sell as many cars to be profitable. the Milan, Mariner, and Grand Marquis sell fairly well anyways (especially relative to their fairly minimal development costs).
US Auto sales are down 40% from there high in 2007 that makes Ford right around average, decline that is. Toyota was down 36% BFD, and Chrysler 39% that's not saying much. The entire market is suffering and nobody is moving cars.
I dunno...Every article or news cast I've seen has already buried Chrysler, so it's hard to imagine how or why anyone would buy a Chrysler? Especially since Consumer Reports couldn't find even 1 of their cars to recommend...But yet, they still managed to have a smaller sales drop than Ford? Why is that?...IT's because Ford is still trying to get top dollar for their truly forgettable designs...You are right though..Ford is right around average..plus, Ford's warranty isn't guaranteed by UNcleSam.
No wonder Ford's sales slide was a negative 41% in March, with only GM doing worse. Can you believe that Chrysler had a better month than Ford. with all of their problems? 73% drop in Exploders sales and the like.43% drop in Focus (small car) sales!? Now Ford is offering what Hyundai offered 3 months ago....Way to catch up...Ford's middle mgmt retards, can't get out of the way fast enough for Alan Mulally. I foresee a hugh mgmt shakeout coming real..in DAYS...soon! bloodbath long overdue!
How long ago did I make the post that you are replying to? And actually, Ford's offer is better than Hyundai's although it wasn't something that Ford immediately started "right after Hyundai" as you implied. It was a month or two. So, seriously, how many people will opt for a Taurus over a Genesis Sedan V8 if the price is the same?
Also, next time you decide to call someone a moron, you might want to learn how to spell it...The insult kind of loses it's sting, when it's misspelled my a moron...
I would definitely opt for a Hyundai over a Ford. The Taurus are cheap to repair, but repaired often with their antique like quality - a pot-hole would probably destroy the car.
I've owned one up to 79k miles it was garabage, and I know about 3 other people love them, but have to put the same kinda of money in them b/c the crappy quality. If you were to look at edmunds you would see you are wrong - check '05 taurus vs '05 sonata. There is over 1 entire rating point difference, but experience is more than some rating. My sisters hyundai at 140k miles total repairs less than 2k, Taurus 2k in repairs in 10k miles from 70-80k miles
Great design. I think all car makers are stuck in performance = max hp for 30 mpg. Mpg = is the new performance! I still get a ticket when I go over 75 so why the extra power? Give me all of this luxury at 60+ mpg with half the power. Car makers have so many great diesel powerplants in Europe. Offer 1 HO power engine and 1 efficient engine. Offer a diesel and direct electric drivetrain with no transmission and minimal rotational mass and drivetrain lag. Car editors stop whining if under 300hp
looks like my 08 toyota camry, I hope that ford has better quality on this model because bunch of their 08 model or older has been a P.O.S because taurus has been having bunch of problems. they blew up at 75,000 miles I hope they have better luck with this 2010 models or ford should go out of business or die because older model Found On Road Dead F.O.R.D
Yeah, it looks like a 2009 Honda Accord, only kinda "FORD" looking....uhhhhhh-glee. HOw much do you think it'll cost to replace the haldex AWD clutch? Anyone brave enough to venture a guess as to what Ford's published replacement interval is, and whether it's within the basic warranty period? TIme bomb waiting to happen. $4500 repair minimum?
Yeah, I think it's hilarious how the UAW is taking it in the ass, after years of forcing their employers to do the same. Classic case of the prisoner's dilemma, where they both fought for their best deal without thinking of fairness, and so now they both get to go down the tubes together. The US auto worker is a scab covering the festering wound of greed that has run rampant through the US auto industry for the past 3 decades...And all you goobers VOTED FOR OBAMA! He NAILED you!!! PSYCHE!hahaha
The US auto industry is sooo F'd up...GM announced on Saturday that they would determine the fate of Hummer by Tuesday....They couldn't even manage to do THAT! Don't you think they knew what the answer to that easy question was on Saturday? If they didn't, then they were (and yes, they are) IDIOTS to even set the Tuesday deadline. Good riddence to these morons.
Hey, McCain made his money the old-fashioned way. He married into it! Good for him. I think he hit a grand slam! Rich Girl? check! Younger than him? check! Not BONE Ugly? check!

Matbe even go through all that POW torture shit...I bet McCain is so fucking happy he lost the election that he can't stand it!
Ford is still moving at the speed of molasses compared with new vehicle design, compared with the Asians and European brands. I just heard a Ford Exec on TV recently explain that the design window for a new car is 7 years....ONLY in the Detroit 3. Honda, Toyota, VW, and even design-heavy BMW are turning designs in 48 months. This car isn't ground breaking in even category!..SAD, and to top it off Ford wants 30 K or more for a nicely (by two year ago standards) equipped one. 45K for a loaded SHO!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Really? Best car ever, huh? Well, if you say so...Aren't you a little worried that this might be the right car for the wrong time? Big and heavy, with lots of horsepower? It just seems logical to me with THE ENTIRE COUNTRY SCREAMING FOR FUEL EFFICIENT GREEN CARS AND HYBRIDS!!!, that oh..you know...maybe Ford might try that out?...you know....just for shits and giggles..I hear Mullaly continue to spout how consumer driven Ford (Now) is, but then I see this abortion of a car, and I shake my head!
listen MORAN. if you want a fuel efficent car get the 2010 fusion hybrid it has more gas milage than the camry or accord or any midsized car. and this car is fuel efficent it has a ecoboost engine. you just tottally FAILEDDDDDD right there. majorly. dork, you always argue with everyone that likes a ford. shut upp like really no onee cares or belives you.
2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid- look it up. 22 Hwy from a car producing almost 350 HP? Thats damn good if thats what you want. Ford has 21 MPG from the F150 which only Chevy can match. Or what about the first SUV hybrid the Ford escape?
Ford has a winner with the Fusion Hybrid, but there is a problem with that. They haven't ramped up to produce enough of them. They don't get the ecomonies of scale that Honda and Toyota do, and so they have to charge more for their cars...
you can't sell enough of them to make your company profitable. It doesn't matter if they are priced right or not, if you can't produce enough to meet demand. That was my only point. I'm not gonna rehash the base price comparisons and the lack of specific features (like Traction control)....I'm only saying, Ford isn't in a position (with the Fusion Hybrid) to be ABLE to take advantage of some unexplainable shift in buyer attitude, because the just can't build enoguh of them...Period~
I hope I'm wrong, but given the weight, the Haldex kinda sorta AWD, which isn't exactly launch control, and the lack of manual xmission, I don't think this car is gonna break 6 seconds in the 0-60 test...If it does, and IF it breaks 5.4 from the BMW, then I'll take back my strong criticism of the pricing on this car...I think you are gonna be disappointed though...
I too am very proud to be an American.However, I am NOT willing to give inept, poorly managed, American companies a free pass, and buy from them blindly, when the rest of their peers are able to work harder, and do a better job of navigating the inherent hardships of the auto industry.
If buying Union is your idea of nationalism, perhaps you should move to France. ..Faggot!
THIS CAR IS GORGEOUS... The fact we can still build cars like this - reliable, stylish, and well-built - is one of the 1 million reasons why I'm PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!!!
Consumer Reports just released their recommendations for 2009 Model Year. Ford didn't have a single car in their top 15 award categories. OVerall the Ford Brand was ranked 4th from the bottom of 15 makes of vehicles, while GM and Chrysler were both at the very bottom. ONly one US made car or truck made the top 15 spots. The Chevy Truck...Not even the F-150 made the list...Sad, but true...
go to flatratetechdotyouknowwhat and look on their forums for a Question about will the big three survive?. Read what the Ford employess think about US made /Union made Ford Junk...
for someone in international business development, it's funny you can't spell it right. I gather you are from Canada, so I suppose I should cut you some slack.
Seriously though, at least now I can see how Ford (2 years ago during product development) might have eyed the luxury market as a growth area. The major (many others) problem is that Ford has no history of success in this market. None..Zero. Name a Ford badged luxury success story. Why they didn't at LEAST badge this Lincoln amazes me.DER
Wall Street journal has an online site that shows cars sales...The worst category of vehicles (largest drop in y-t-y sales) industry-wide was Large cars. ..-54% sales decrease. The entire U.S. auto industry sold 5100 large cars in January. For reference, Honda sold 16,000 Civics in January. Ford seems destined to build the cars no one wants at JUST the right time...it's uncanny...
Taurus, that's a death wish waiting to be released. Taurus was a line of Ford that always broke down, period. I had one that dropped a AXoD tranny and it had less than 90k miles since new and was even maintained. Camarys can do 140k plus without ever flushing out its fluids..guys I am not dissin out on the SHO, but I'd wait a while before jumping to go buy one, just to see if it breaks any records of factory recalls. I'd rather $42k for a Genesis than cough up $15k in repairs. Just my 2 cents =)
really tauruses always broke down ? since when i have had 6 tauruses and not even one has had a problem over 200,000 only one lasted for 160 which is still great.
Considering that our neighbor had a 08 camry and the tranny was completely gone just north of 4k miles, it's all luck of the draw. My Taurus has 120k and it shifts strong and starts the first time every time. Other than a set of brakes, tires, gas and oil, it hasn't needed any major repairs.
i'm a chevy guy. i've never understood why people think armrys are the shit. the chevy impala (back03-05) were made to last for at least 200k+. same withe the blazer. my blazers got 120k and runs like a dream
you/re a retard. Taurus's have no problems rarely ever. When you buy a camry you are hurting the economy so much. You don't know shit. Learn to spell camry
urbrainwashed2...The Camry may be built in the USA, but it's designed and engineered in Japan...in other words it's still a Japanese car. Ford's are engineered in the USA for American roads and highways, and their MAIN HQ are here...Ford will always be American....and Toyota will always be Japanese.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking Korean cars used to be crap, and always will be...NOT true. They learn, and the Genesis is a perfect example. I justread that Hyundai's skunk works is putting together a Genesis with a supercharged V-8 that will deliver close to 450HP. Holy shit, if they do that there are gonna be whole lot of SHO buyers out there getting their asses handed to them ASIA-Style!!!Like I said b4..tip of the iceberg. China is coming and they are coming STRONG!
rotorman13b...Taurus was the best selling car in America for a long time. How is that a death wish?
Only an idiot would drive a car for a 140k without changing the fluids. Toyota quality is falling, that's a fact. American car co. will catch them and pass them in the near future. Hopefully the japs will back their bags and go home. Since you're talking about Fords past. do you think Genesis will hold up. haha. Look at past Korean car quality. If you think Ford is bad, the Koreans are much worst.
Did I just read you correctly? You are hoping that the Japs will pack their bags and go home?...oh yeah, THATs gonna happen...The Genesis is justthe tip of the iceberg. THat Company (Hyundai) has their shit together, and don't you think otherwise...Not for a minute. China is right behind them and they KNOW it...The Genesis is a great example of pricing forward to capture market. It's flat out the best car deal in 20 years. Honestly. Until China arrives, there will be no better deal $ for $!!!
Loyal Honda fan here, but I agree that the Hyundai Genesis is a solid contender, especially with their creative buy-back program, should I lose my job...I'm going to test drive one this weekend.
Wow. That interior looks almost Passat-like. Very impressive, Ford. Can't wait to check this out at the Chicago Autoshow and see if it really is as high-quality as they say. Exterior looks nice too. I'd buy one if I needed something that huge.
yes i would definitely buy it. i have to say Ford has really stepped up.. they have some kick ass good quality cars.. I love this new Taurus, that Escape, Expedition, Explorer, Flexx is reallynice too wow.. amazing

So in this category this car is fairly cheap considering the fact that those other two cars start in the 30 thousands base.

by basing their cars on Fords (what may be called "brand hierarchy"), both Mercury and Lincoln save a lot of money on product development and facilities. This money that they save means they don't have to sell as many cars to be profitable. the Milan, Mariner, and Grand Marquis sell fairly well anyways (especially relative to their fairly minimal development costs).

US Auto sales are down 40% from there high in 2007 that makes Ford right around average, decline that is. Toyota was down 36% BFD, and Chrysler 39% that's not saying much. The entire market is suffering and nobody is moving cars.
1vdn992 2 years ago 5
I dunno...Every article or news cast I've seen has already buried Chrysler, so it's hard to imagine how or why anyone would buy a Chrysler? Especially since Consumer Reports couldn't find even 1 of their cars to recommend...But yet, they still managed to have a smaller sales drop than Ford? Why is that?...IT's because Ford is still trying to get top dollar for their truly forgettable designs...You are right though..Ford is right around average..plus, Ford's warranty isn't guaranteed by UNcleSam.
blueskysiii 2 years ago
No wonder Ford's sales slide was a negative 41% in March, with only GM doing worse. Can you believe that Chrysler had a better month than Ford. with all of their problems? 73% drop in Exploders sales and the like.43% drop in Focus (small car) sales!? Now Ford is offering what Hyundai offered 3 months ago....Way to catch up...Ford's middle mgmt retards, can't get out of the way fast enough for Alan Mulally.

How long ago did I make the post that you are replying to? And actually, Ford's offer is better than Hyundai's although it wasn't something that Ford immediately started "right after Hyundai" as you implied. It was a month or two. So, seriously, how many people will opt for a Taurus over a Genesis Sedan V8 if the price is the same?
Also, next time you decide to call someone a moron, you might want to learn how to spell it...The insult kind of loses it's sting, when it's misspelled my a moron...

I would definitely opt for a Hyundai over a Ford. The Taurus are cheap to repair, but repaired often with their antique like quality - a pot-hole would probably destroy the car.

Great design. I think all car makers are stuck in performance = max hp for 30 mpg. Mpg = is the new performance! I still get a ticket when I go over 75 so why the extra power? Give me all of this luxury at 60+ mpg with half the power. Car makers have so many great diesel powerplants in Europe. Offer 1 HO power engine and 1 efficient engine. Offer a diesel and direct electric drivetrain with no transmission and minimal rotational mass and drivetrain lag. Car editors stop whining if under 300hp

Honda, Toyota, VW, and even design-heavy BMW are turning designs in 48 months.

you can't sell enough of them to make your company profitable. It doesn't matter if they are priced right or not, if you can't produce enough to meet demand. That was my only point. I'm not gonna rehash the base price comparisons and the lack of specific features (like Traction control)....I'm only saying, Ford isn't in a position (with the Fusion Hybrid) to be ABLE to take advantage of some unexplainable shift in buyer attitude, because the just can't build enoguh of them...Period~

Taurus, that's a death wish waiting to be released. Taurus was a line of Ford that always broke down, period. I had one that dropped a AXoD tranny and it had less than 90k miles since new and was even maintained. Camarys can do 140k plus without ever flushing out its fluids..guys I am not dissin out on the SHO, but I'd wait a while before jumping to go buy one, just to see if it breaks any records of factory recalls. I'd rather $42k for a Genesis than cough up $15k in repairs. Just my 2 cents =)

Considering that our neighbor had a 08 camry and the tranny was completely gone just north of 4k miles, it's all luck of the draw. My Taurus has 120k and it shifts strong and starts the first time every time. Other than a set of brakes, tires, gas and oil, it hasn't needed any major repairs.
