ford should always use the keypad control; every car co. should use this ,it is great; this guy has no clue of what he is talking about; he's just trying to make money,during these reviews.
its a nice car but its problem (well lincoln's) is that its too upscale, in limited trim you can get radar cruise and heated back seats.And a turbo thats 340 hp (aka SHO) which are ok but then you need to make MKS better! So a redesign needs to happen soon for lincoln or else!
Not bad even impressive. Does anyone notice how the hood on this car and the La Crosse have the same bulge on the hood. I'm seeing on a lot of cars this year. It's not a bad thing.
@3Gbus This Taurus is a really great car but lets be realistic, Americans WOULD LOVE THE FALCON! Falcon is the best Sedan, Ute and Wagon ever to cruise the highways! Ford need to offer it in the US as to ensure its survival back home in Oz.

f,o,r,d Fix Or Repair Daily my aunt boght 3 ford taurus and they all died on the road , never buy a ford but the 2010 taurus is actuly a rebaged volvo s80 , ford cant build cars without mazda or volvo's help
@steve9509 iknow it sounds werid but she likes taurus's , year 89, 91, 94 she thinks there handsome cars but the third one was the wakeup call , and now she own's a 97 land rover discovery and she likes that more now
Here's the value of the Keypad...With On Star : You've locked your keys in the car AND your cellphone...You're S.O.L...With the keypad, you're good to go.
They keypad is one of the greatest inventions ever. I'm surprised other companies don't try and use it. We have an 07 f150, with a keypad and we use It so much. When my brother parks behind my dad in the driveway and my dad can just take the keys out, move the f150, leave the keys inside, hop in the ranger, and go. Doesn't have to go inside again. Or when we go to Valley Fair, we just leave the keys in the car so we don't lose them or they don't get wet. And just a ton more times. Just hide em.
How are you not sure what keypad control is? Of the many Lincolns I have had, I think it is great to be able to lock my car while I leave it running to either warm it up or leave my car for a moment at a store with the AC on. It is nice to leave my keys in the car. Also, it is nice to be able to open the car and the trunk with out having keys on me, not to mention locking it. Do you also hate cup-holders? Because, those are also very practical. Otherwise, okay review.
Before you write a negative review on a car you know nothing of, learn to write and type proper English you Douche Bag!!! Oh, and since when does BMW, Mercedes and Rover make a Full size sedan that starts at 25k? Oh, and you might want to check on that reliability rating on Rover Products. Can I say DEAD LAST!!!! Even Suzuki makes more reliable cars than Rover. Oh, don't take my word for it, do the research your self. Oh, and did I tell you, you were a Doucher yete???
dude, look at the price, if american wanted to biuld really expensive cars, they could, but we like to build cars that the common man can have, besides, i doubt you have even lived in america, im half japanese so i know what "quality" is and i will never buy a car that is not american
It's similar, but not "basically identical." Much larger and bolder upper grill, de-emphasized lower grill, less dramatic headlight shape and far more massive sculpting...almost a bit fat. But hey, the whole point was to adapt the successful European Ford designs.
Do you know that the European Mondeo is basically the same thing as the Taurus? They are the same car. Besides, the European Mondeo is still a Ford which is an American company so I fail to see how it isn't "bold American style."
James here...the guy in the video. And no, the Mondeo and Taurus are not the same car. Not at all. The Taurus and Lincoln MKS are built off the same chassis, but the Euro Fords are different for the time being.
I hate the tail lights. THIS GUY IS AN IDIOT, kelly blue book agrees that the keypad is one of the best car ideas and said "we wonder why other car companies don't use this technology" (or something along those lines) Plus its nice to have dumb ass.
I think Ford holds patents to this technology cause I've never seen keyless entry on any other car. Besides, with wireless key fobs, there's no need for it. The key's are smart enough to keep the door open if locked inside.
