The Taurus was a great car. I know I worked my butt off building them, from 1985 to 1996 when I retaired. I started work in Atlanta at the assembly plant in 1965. All the cars I worken on the Taurus was built longer and sold the best. I drove them every day on the job and loved the ride and how they handled.

@mrsamuelization I know I thank you for helping to build America's greatest sedan and station wagon. That'd be a nice job I bet, hot and humid at many times, but great :)

That ford dealer guy hit the nail on the head. Luckily ford is learning from their mistakes or selling what is popular. I roll my eyes at the people that bitch about how US car manufacturers focused to much on Trucks and SUVs. IT IS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANTED! The new Taurus though reminds me of the first Taurus, well built and what not. Long live Ford, long live the Taurus.

my for taurus is great running car

[Crazcompart]

I own a '96 GL, and it still runs great! Placing all one's hopes in SUV sales is always taking a chance...They did bring the Bull back in a full sized version, though...

@MusicMike1285 Yeah, that's the only thing about my Volvo, you can barely fit anything in the console, it's only like 2" deep, which is weird considering the height of the console itself.

[MusicMike1285]

@ActiveWorldsLunitic The 1994 Ford Taurus I had didn't have the center console, it had the bench seat. However, the 2003 Ford Taurus SE I have now has the center console and thats one of the things I love about it. I can keep alot of my cd's and tapes in that compartment lol

[MusicMike1285]

@ActiveWorldsLunitic My Grandma had a 1988 Chrysler LeBaron which my Uncle still has. My Aunts Husband had a 1993 Ford Taurus station wagon as a company car. After my dad saw it, he liked it and my parents bought a 1994 Mercury Sable station wagon which was basically the same thing. Sadly we didn't have that car anymore, my mother wrecked it, then my dad bouht a 1995 Pontiac Trans Sport.

@MusicMike1285 My grandma used to have a '94 Ford Taurus GL when I was 8 (Ironic isn't it?), with the optional center console, and it was one of the nicest cars we had.

Tauruses had been my favorite car for a long time, but my "first" car (I've had 4, I'm just not counting them, because I had them for like, a week at a time before I got rid of them), a Volvo 850, is definitely stiff competition.

[MusicMike1285]

@ActiveWorldsLunitic ur not. I remember when I was 8 or 9 years old in 1993 1994. These cars were really sharp, and the most popular cars on the road. I owned a 1994 Ford Taurus, and now I own a 2003. I loved them both.

@mrsamuelization they are greeat cars i have had 4 of them i love them all

[Xziau1]

@MRBRAD9070 yeah they are much nicer than they use to be. My mother had the 91 Sable a long time ago. She has a 2004 Taurus now and its been a good car so far.. I think Tauruses are good cars the only weak spots are probably the transmission and the speakers.

[MRBRAD9070]

@Xziau1 i love all the sounds and beeps the 96-07 taurus and 96-05 sable make. the door opening/closing, the belt minder, the engine when it starts and when your accelerating. my mom used to have a 02 sable and i miss it alot but my brother fried the engine after the headgasket blew at 124k

[Xziau1]

@MRBRAD9070 Yeah....I like my 2007 Taurus...I wish the stereo was better, but Ill replace the speakers later on....I'm only adding small modifications to it now.
