I am in Kuwait and I've seen a couple on the road and each time I'm like wow, thats a nice looking car!The Arabs are (or were) stuck on buying new Ford Crown Vics (they still make them for the overseas market like here) but if I was an Arab I'd buy me a Taurus it's so much nicer. I may get this over a Mustang or mid sized Jap or Korean model as they not only look nice, they seem like a good value.
@iGaRaai90 cts... a $35,000 base luxury sedan to this? are you stupid? sit inside a base taurus and it will make you want to vomit, along with the maxima, but at least that doesnt look like a typical overweight trailer-trash red-neck
Rain sensing wipers? Front and side radar detection? Adaptive cruise control? This will be a huge step up from my 2004 jia rip. I don't even have power windows!
@AFunyun Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If it were a smaller car and not a huge battleship, I might consider it. However, with the extreme price-tag, I doubt that it will be comparable to their former Taurus line which sold as an average, mid-priced car. I will bet that 3 times as many Fusions will be sold over the new Taurus.
Transmission Problems Ford and Mazda will not correct . Ford Escape, Fusion, Taurus, Explorer, F150, and all MazdasTransmissions are Junk. Theyt Jerks fluid turns dark after 10,000 miles. Ford had this problems ever since they moved to adaptive 4, 5, 6 speed transmission. They don't care. I will not buy a Ford or Mazda until they fix this problem. Please stay away from Mazda thats the root of the problem. Ford and Mazda designed transmission together. The jerk happens from 2nd to 3rd gear.
I think both were the best possible drummers for their bands and any how even though they do mention Led Zeppelin in this video how do you like the Taurus?
You gotta love how Ford has improved thier all-around product line. The Focus, the Fusion, and of course, now the Taurus (beautiful ride)..................
Everyone I've talked to that owns a new Ford, just loves them.......... Absolutely high quality manufacturing.
Stay away from Chrysler...............JUNK.
I own one of both, and the Ford a has been a trouble free pleasure to own, while the Chrysler (with 47,000 miles) has had nothing but aggervating problems. (Freakin money pit!)
The auto market is changing. Japan is falling behind, Ford is taking the place that Japan once had, Korea is kicking ass, and GM is finally coming out with decent products.
I really REALLY hated Ford in the past! I thought that they were ugly, boring, and unreliable! But now by owning a Ford Mondeo as a company car made me change my mind! Ford is one of the best car makers out there! Am really shocked by their excellent car range! Most of their car are best in class! Way to go Ford!
hey ignorant.. the avalon asnt redesigned since 2005 but get dis... it still the best in its class since 2005.. it doesnt matter how it look.. ur prob one of those white kids who like cars that look good..
the avalon is a luxurious, confortable , huge car.. and if you value resale, and reliability. the avalon still the top of its class... n dis isnt me just talkin.. go check reviews. and you will find out...
I'm 25. Also it doesent matter how your car looks? Are you kidding me? You must be one of those ignorant idiots that thinks he knows things but truly does not.
You kidding? The Avalon looks like shit compared to the Taurus. Ford's quality is the same if not better then Toyota's and that was proven. This car is 100x better. So is the 2010 Lacrosse.
The Avalon is truly geriatric in comparison. Its kinda the opposite of cool for anyone less than say....50. Its like a salesman's car but more specifically a saleman for life insurance or fiber bars.lol
I most agree whit most o f the people here, the new Ford Taurus is such a nice looking car, and juggening by the video and photos publish so far, I'll eaven adventure to say it's well manufactured too, features I miss in Ford's models during this fisrt decade.
You have to give Ford credit for making some progression. They learned their lesson from the 80's and 90's. They sold a bunch cars with the Taurus nameplate. Then took the money and purchased shares in other car companies. They put too much effort in Aston Martin, Jaguar and others only to sell them when those companies were starting to turn around. Now with focusing only on Ford, I have to admit the line up looks a lot better. Not sure If I will buy a Ford yet. Time will tell.
the new designs are aimed at the asian market. just like the new ford fiesta, they look very foreign. Which is good for ford since chinese auto sales exceeded american auto sales last year.
I'm saying that based on what I see on a daily basis. I have to drive for a good 20-30 minutes on the highway everyday to go to school and about 90% of the cars broken down on the side of the road are American.
And I'm sorry but I don't think that Ford or any American company will ever be anywhere near the same quality or reliability as Toyota, Honda, or any Japanese company
About Ford, it may have won car of the year but in 10 years will it still be considered car of this year? Let alone not have any problems? I'm sure any Japanese car will last longer than an American car, even one that won car of the year.
Its not just me, most people think that American cars aren't as reliable as Japanese cars, otherwise American companies wouldn't need a bailout from the government, let alone have some companies file for bankruptcy. Enough said.
Uh huh there is always an excuse. And when I here BS like that it really get me wound up. And don't try to hide behind some one elses ignorance. The Fact of the matter is. You and "Everybody Else" who has that outdated ignorant belief that American cars are not as reliable as Japanese cars are living under a Rock !!!! And people like you with that prejudice. Are one of the main reasons why the US is in one of the most terrible depressions in a generation.
Your blaming me and other people who don't like American cars for the bad economy? All I can say is wow. Now if American car companies actually made good, reliable cars then maybe more people would buy them and they wouldn't get outsold by import cars in their own country, don't you think? All that your telling me is that I'm ignorant for thinking that American cars aren't reliable but the numbers don't lie.
American cars also don't have anywhere near the resale value of Japanese cars
Are you serious !!!! Consumer reports has ranked the Fusion over the Camry and Accord for reliability. Japanese Quality !?!?!?!? WHAT !?!?!?! Toyota has just issued the largest recall in US history of over 3.8 million vehicles due to acclerator problems. Also, The Toyota Tundra is a rust bucket and is known for snapping tire rods that control the cars steering. Which my cause lost of control of vehicle and DEATH !!!! Also, Toyota just got shut out of the most recent Highway safety top 10 list.
Whaaaaaa, Oh your hurting my feelings. Shut up !!!! See you was gaining some ground and went right back to being ignorant. I see how you completely ignored my points about Toyota and their "Japanese reliability" People like you are just completely ignorant and shouldn't be allowed to exsist. The world would be a happier and better place.
The one thing American companies do well is make trucks, that's it. If I needed a truck, I would go straight to a Ford or Chevy dealer. But if I wanted a performance car, or a reliable economy car, I would go Japanese or German.
I don't know i think thie Ford is very different then other American cars. the insurance should be cheap. Only two things i don't like and that it is still front wheel drive platform and no manual trans available. Even GM has learned that lesson.
Hmm I actually think that Chevy would be different because theyre actually putting out a few good cars. Like the Malibu was actually rated higher than the Accord or Camry overall but idk how good it will be in the long run
Oh and by the way you was making another ignorant comment about American cars don't hold there residual values. Listen to this review of the Taurus at 5:30 till the end. The Taurus has a higher resale value over the TOYOTA avalon, the Chevy impala and the Chrysler 300. Deal with it, the 2010 Taurus is wonderful. and keep your ignorant comments to yourself.
Also, Why in the World would you buy a Lexus ES350 over this !!! the 2010 Ford Taurus !?!?? The taurus is safer, rides better, looks better and is cheaper.
Did you even just ask that question? A Lexus is far better than any Ford in EVERY aspect. Lexus is a luxury brand, something that can NEVER BE COMPARED TO A FORD TAURUS. I'd like to see a Taurus take on a Lexus ISF, it doesn't have a chance.
Please stop being so ignorant and stupid. Your comparing two different levels of cars. If you were comparing it to Lincoln then you would have a slightly better argument but at the end of the day, its still an American car.
America isn't the only country that makes trucks. Toyota Tundra is an American truck because it is developed by American employees of Toyota solely for the North American market. China has diesel trucks that blow American pickups right out of the water. One mistake Americans make is they think America is the whole damn world.
Now about you acting like a child, you come and try to insult me for expressing my opinion on the internet? It seems like your ignorant for trying to talk shit about me for saying my opinion. Please stop acting like an ignorant child and grow up.
The rear of the car is ugly!
