That park assist for instance. WHY!? Its for people who can't park their car? Well then how did those people get their drivers license? Cars like this will encourage bad drivers to buy cars that are too big for them and that will cause accidents.
Parking distance sensors are good. But a car that parks itself? You're advertising: I can't drive, please take my license away.
Also a V6? 4-cilinder is plenty in terms of eco and power but it depends on your driving
@hollbri2 What's funny is the new I-4 produces about the same amount of power as the Crown Vic's old V8, working with only half the displacement. Say what you want about the car but the four-pot is clearly better.
@jacketman22 a four pot is not for me -it has no sound,no nothing.i drive an infiniti m56 with an v8 and i know why...i only wish that ford or lincoln would build a new fullsize luxury sedan with rear wheel drive!!
@hollbri2 No sound? Are you joking? Practically all 4-cylinder cars run at a higher RPM, a common complaint about the old Saabs (from Amercians at least) is they were "loud" and "unrefined". I think what you mean is a V8 produces a more relaxed, less urgent sound.
Why waste money on this losing platform? It's overpriced, has awful visibility, and the front seating area is "tight." Ford needs to replace this car with the rear drive Falcon from Australia, which is a better car than this; I don't know why Ford is so big on Taurus, when the Falcon's platform is paid for, unlike this car. I'll buy a used Crown Victoria before I buy the new Taurus. Rear drive gives a better ride than front drive, and this car is too expensive for what it is.
@man36021 - People want Hydrogen Electric Technology, look at the Tesla Model S , Think about it @2:45 is a NEW SPOILER going to save you in gas mileage? lol LMAO
Lacking Hybrid Technology FORD!!! Wheres the Hydrogen Engine? 100% Electric Engine? when this car is released, gas prices will be cost 50% more per litre... Great looking car, but Kia and Toyota are both set to release Hydrogen Vehicles.. what are you doing for our pockets and most important our environment???
@GotstuffStoppa Dude, screw that, ford is making what looks to be real world class gasoline engines, and this is what's selling right now. Ford can go to hydrogen power at any time, and it's been proven that with a few mods, a gasoline engine can be converted into a propane engine so I wouldn't worry about a thing.
@Johndoe9278 With its 429-horsepower 5.0L V8, I sure would hope the new Hyundai Genesis would perform better than the 365-horsepower Taurus SHO. Eat it alive, though? Well, that remains to be seen.
@Gradeau when in doubt ford has quite some powertrain options to counter the top of the line hyundai, ford could easily put the excellent 5.0 coyote in the taurus or even a the revised 5.4 out of the 2011 mustang gt500s without compromising anything brand internal, they could sell them under the SVT moniker and don't need to worry about anything anymore in terms of power, not even the respective top of the line bmw,audi & mercedes models for that matter. greetings from germany
Benchmarked against an Audi A6? - Only in terms of front end styling. Underneath this is still a Ford 500, or 1998 Volvo S80, absolutely prehistoric. On European roads, with bends, the Taurus wouldnt see which way the Audi went. This is like one of those Chinese knock offs of western brands.
@rickerbycourt AUDI is nothing but a worthless, overpriced GLORIFIED Volkswagen! VW makes engines for Audi, VW, and SKODA (Czech car). My wife has the Audi A4, and it has a worthless 2.0 inline-4 turbo, which makes a lousy 200HP (LOL!), and the fuel mileage SUCKS ASS (17MPG!). My Taurus has 365HP, and get 28MPG, five times as much technology, HUGE interior, great looks, all leather, BLISS, automatic distance/speed adjusting cruise control, etc. Her car was $40K, and has hardly shit! LOL @ U!
@rickerbycourt Even the Audi's (Volkswagen's) 3.2 V6 vibrates like hell, the dual-clutch transmission shudders all the time and hesitates in slow turns and high speed accelerations. But don't believe me, just read CONSUMER REPORTS. Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz all suck in reliability, and maintenance costs are RIDICULOUS. Stupid people who like to show off, go get an overprices maintenance pig from Germany. I'll keep my new Ford. Yes, the old Ford's sucked bad. But this is a NEW Ford! =P
@rickerbycourt As for your IDIOTIC comment about the new Ford's being old models (all engines, transmissions, suspensions, interiors, exteriors, electronics, etc. ARE ALL BRAND NEW you idiot! Do some research first before you run your suck! Ignoramous!
I own a 2011 Taurus Limited and Love the Looks the performance and the workmanship but don't let Ford lie to you about the gas mileage, the mileage still sucks
@lovmytruck I get 28MPG on the highway with my 2011 SHO, how does your much more fuel efficient 3.5L get less than that?? O.O I have a feeling its a DRIVER issue (ie. LEAD FOOT).
@h4x0rMC Not the lead foot driving Different Taurus's and see the good mileage is why I bought mine. when I picked it up I noticed a sticker on it that said it was pulled of the line and driven by a Ford tec for 41 miles and what ever the Tec did to it is why the mileage sucks. the Dealership can't do anything about it and Ford Won't do anything about either. AI have talked to Ford, and there answer is that it states that 22 to 30 Mpg. is what is is suppose to get.My old Avalon got 30 mpg
Ford you lost such a great car it was wonderful this car was meant to be a luxury car with a fast engine this is obviously a mustang/xf with more plastic Go back to the 2011 wonderful grille that looked like it could be designed by audi and bmw and the lights are just gay. The taurus was my favorite car until now unhappy costumer
"but there are also technologies kinda underneath the skin. when costumers drive the vehicle they will really appreciate like torque vectoring" ... yeah ... right. I will totally buy this now. Not.
Dear Ford, if you really have to make these videos in the style of a 1980's commercial with some wacky dudes in them to tell me how absolutely awesome the car is, please make sure that they atleast know WHAT THE HELL THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
Awesome car! As always by ford, but i don't understand why they have to announce the 2013 Model year now? Also the 2013 Malibu was revealed some days ago ... I don't get it... if I knew there will be a new car in a year time, I wouldn't buy one now...
american car design sucks balls. it looks always heavy and like a fuckin rock. not even areodynamic, light, and gorgeous. this hurts, it would be a wonderful car :-/
Is this a car or an SUV? Does Ford build cars anymore? They all look like trucks.
