BizTimes Milwaukee test drives 2010 Ford Taurus

[creamyfilling102]

adaptive cruise control?? can that be turned off? i still wanna use cruise, but if someone cuts me off, i'll hit the brake and slow down myself. i wannna know what the car is doing, not the computer.

[ldrago1310]

2010 ford Taurus looks much better than Camry and other Japanese sedan

[form109]

The all new Tarus Reminds me of something German.........the inside has various cues similar to a Pasat CC......Great Look!

[tsxws]

I choose Honda instead :)

[hmbam1]

@tsxws ur not american

[tsxws]

@hmbam1

And Honda is better.

[hmbam1]

@tsxws no never maybe as a mower or a motorcycle but not a car

[Mickeyboy74]

I have had a 2001 Taurus and loved and traded for the 2008 Taurus and love it!! already have 80000+ miles on it, only thing so far i have had to do to it is put on new rear brakes and new tires!

[edw125238]

ALOT OF THE FEATURES ON THIS CAR ARREN'T EVEN AVALIBLE ON CERTIAN LUXURY CARS.. ESPECIALLY... HONDAS' LOL

[crise1]

Why do we hate Hondas, can anyone answer that?

[377750]

1000000000000000000000000 rather have a honda than taurus YOU SAID THAT ABOUT HONDA CUZZ YOUR AMERICAN

[warioman3434]

how the hell would it get a virus lol its not really the same as a computer there are no outside people able to upload a virus into your car maybe just maybe they could do it from inside the car like a friend

[01Sable]

I can't believe some of these comments I'm seeing. If the Sync gets a virus, will it blue screen of death? Will the car not start? Just because it's made by Microsoft, doesn't mean it's Window's-based. It doesn't load up like a freakin' computer. And I'm so sure someone's gonna hack into your car just to do that anyway (not that Sync has anything to do with how the car starts...).

Some people who abuse the freedom of speech... Where are your helmets???

[themagichatchetninja]

very nice,im likin the future sho,

only if i had about 40k to throw on it

[penthrane11]

WTF the old T- bar :)

[thomasoeler]

highway and interstate are so slow!!!! just the AUTOBAHN IN GERMANY IS THE BEST!!!!!

[baboloco]

WTF!!!!!! STILL A FORD PEOPLE!!!!

[DeadofWinter321]

@baboloco True that, but it's way better than a GM!

[DeadofWinter321]

@baboloco True that, but it's way better than a GM!

[TheManInDboX]

As a computer engineer and shade tree mechanic.. Can i get one with a 6-speed with a clutch, and no other electronic help crap? In SHO gear?

What happeneds if the Brake assist fails? DO i hit the car in front of me? The adaptive cruise control.. If someone cuts me off in NY, and the car auto breaks does ford pay for the collision from the person on my ass? If Microsoft Sync gets a virus, will the car Blue screen of death? If it snows, and i want full control can i kill the STC and TCS

[youssefqazwsx]

@TheManInDboX man you right , that sound crazy , systems shouldn't applied in some cars things , tomorrow we'll see a car can't start because of a virus has been mess with boot system . (Microsoft Sync ? does Microsoft are the only one for that ? )Lincoln use that soft too , i saw it in my friend car .

[hotfireblazing]

well since someone wants to make mind about buying American they need to decrease the price $46000 ????

[popeye1250]

@hotfireblazing

Buy the limited instead, probably $29-$34k

[ssj4goldengogeta]

the limited is about 38,000 loaded. and the SHO only costs so much because that's the price fully loaded plus you have to consider the high tag for the ecoboost engine which i'm sure has something to do with that high price tag.

[kinneyboy90]

sweet car.

[makpimp4eva14]

omg man what a fucking morann lmfaooooo how could u fuck up that bad with the paddle shifters??? i hope this guy doesnt sell cars

[Supraman353]

@makpimp4eva14

He looks like another idiot that makes a lot of money but doesn't know shit.

[Bazz7999]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heman977]

he does even know wat a paddle shifter is....he says quote " they do the same thing on both sides so tht u can use either hand"....total dumbass...

[Youngstunna7s]

dude..... you shift up and down on either side of the wheel........ fail......

[mi3pwns]

that is what they do on that car. fail moron

[killersushi99]

Never trust a car salesman that has a watch that cost more than the car your buying! HA!

[jangotrooper]

Way to go for Ford, hvae stuck with them for years. 3 f-150s, lincoln mark lt, escape, ranger, expedition, mustang. Need to give this one a test drive next

[Concord316]

I really like ford specially Crown Victoria

because I own it for 10 years now :) .

What I really care about is reliability, if this car is going to be as reliability as the Victoria I will really be happy.

The design is nice except the front (it looks bad).

The performance is OK for me, Actually its more than enough , because I will not need it for race :) .

The interior looks nice too.

In general I think most of the people around the world needs good Reliable, Designed , little Luxury car.

[KarlVDO]

yes the interior looks like a lincoln

[colderbeer]

mflesh2001 is so right....if this exact car had a Honda or Toyota logo on the grill, and was the all-new 2010 Camry for example, all you weenie fanboy import guys would be proclaiming it as the best car ever built for under 40 K. Hey, if this car still doesn't draw you in to American cars, no biggie..but why bash such a sweet effort? Does the emergence of this car scare you that much? And why? Are you all worried that public perception might shift towards Ford being the best bang for the buck?

[sbv5220]

It looks good; however, being a Ford i doubt it will be running 5 years from now with over 150K miles. It's Ford, dressed up as a Lincoln...so you never know.

[ditimedia93]

@sbv5220 my dad had a ford for over 300k stills runs sold it for 300 bucks its how u use and maintain the car -_-

[Minhelov]

hwkkwkw..typically dumbasss here it is..the driverrrr,Woww..i want that car for dubidudam du with my maloo

[coandcaiv]

man it really gets on my nerves...that it takes american auto makers SOOO SOOOOOO long to get a car even decent...not great..but just decent..WTFFF get with the game you ass clowns!

[mflesh2001]

This car has stuff that your jap crap piecer doesn't even offfer. You know, if it had Honda or Toyota on the logo, you'd probably think this was the best car ever made. What a douchebag.

[coandcaiv]

dude..its a TAURUS...get a fuckin life man...for real...

[nitrousboy0311]

He cant drive he looks back to switch lanes he will crash sooner or later.

[Buick97Custom]

he is checking his blind spot dumbass..

[nitrousboy0311]

What blind spot? you can see everything from the rear view mirror dumbass shits called proper driving.

[Buick97Custom]

Okay, I could say so many bad words right now, But I will be the adult in this situation.

If you know ANYTHING about this new ford taurus, you would know that they are the first to create a light in the bottom left (on drivers side) of the outside mirror.

That light, my friend, turns on when there is a driver in your "BLIND SPOT"

When a car is between the rear of your car, and your back passenger doors.

Know your facts before you go calling me a dumbass. Have a great day. Bitch.

[nitrousboy0311]

Shut your fucking face you spook my sho does not have a blind spot i am a beast when driving so you can eat my short dick.

[Buick97Custom]

Okay, I think I have this figured out.

You own the road, huh?

Its all yours?

I take it you don't use your turn signals,

and dont give the right-of-way.

And hey, that is your choice.

But, Every car has a blind spot.

What I mean by that is, when you are looking straight, you cant see what is directally to the side of you.

If you have your mirrors adjusted right, you should only see behind you. not directally to your side.

EVERY car has a blind spot, And a dick driver. Asshole.

[fridis2]

haha wow.......... you are suppose to do that to check your blind spots

[readynow12345]

This fucking idiot 4 seconds, OMG,

excellent paddle shifter,

[drose807]

whoops my bad I meant V6

[Carmelartist123]

its looks depressing on the inside

[smitty47]

its $25k and 365hp twin turbo V8 =)

[colderbeer]

The car will start out at about $26,000 and approach the very high 30's for a Taurus Limited. (just about 40 grand) The SHO model that gives you the all-wheel drive, and the TWIN TURBO 365 HP engine will be in the $40,000 to $44,000 range.....(if I'm off, it ain't by much) This car has gone way upscale...it's gonna be a near-luxury car, and Ford is marketing the Fusion as their "middle of the road" car for the masses.......

[blueskysiii]

v6...

[davistran510]

Any1 have any idea how much this thing is goin for? jst wanna estimate how many years i gotta work to save up for this baby =)

[MusicJunkie6301]

No one says S-H-O even Ford Says SHO!!!!

[blueskysiii]

no, everyone says Ess Ach Ooh...Ford picked the wrong pronunciation, but whatever...It's their car, they can call it anything they want...I think I'll go out and check out their Mustang GUT or maybe their Lincoln LUS, or maybe I'll go look at the foreign subaru WRECKS STY...

[JohnTaurus]

So Ford, who BUILT and DESIGNED and CREATED the car, is wrong. Wow.

[blueskysiii]

I gotta agree with the other posters that this interior doesn't hold up to Acura-like quality. It looks to me like they tried to take the old original mustang design, and incorporate that into a huge console design...Not sure it's working for me...I think a lot of widebodies are gonna feel claustraphobic in the cockpit...

[CHIUPHGUTUBE]

The 2010 Ford Taurus is just beautiful ! Up my alley !

[zchoppad]

Acura? Sleekness? *laughs* Acura has been severely criticized about the design on the current lineup.

[sweetwater88]

lol, overpriced, ugly Honda's are overpriced, ugly Honda's.

[ThePaperBoy21858]

idt its too bad. it could be worst. and the shifter just looks bad, i'm sure it doesnt seem bad in reality.

[masterd151]

Acura.....the overpriced Honda

[steve9509]

Acura? Do you see there 09/10 cars?

[musthavejava]

Good review. This Taurus has 'winner' written all over it. I love it!

[BarbaraandHarold]

2010 Taurus or 2010 Buick LaCrosse?

Which is the better car? Which one will sell best?

[musthavejava]

Which will sell better? My vote goes to the Taurus!

[tmchicago]

they are both hot

[colderbeer]

My gut is telling me that Ford is gonna have a nice hit on their hands with this 2010 Taurus....

[wh97GWM8]

For is doing BIG THINGS!!

[alphaforce5]

the 2010 Taurus kicks ass!

[TheVineEra]

no fair! you got to say it first!

[USMARSHAL1000]

@alphaforce5 It's a slow, overweight pig.
