We're going to party like it's 1986...!!!

Well not really, but the new Taurus is definitely a huge improvement over the current Ford 500 (oops I meant to say Taurus ). I'm really liking the front end and the interior , but the back end (specifically the tail lights) is not sitting well with me; they look like the ones used on the Chrysler Sebring.....

It's pretty cool looking.

Reminds me of an Acura TL/Honda Accord but that's not a bad thing by any means.

[xxtremeteam]

not bad I do like the interior,also dont care for the taillights but way better than the taillights they put on the fusions

[michelle]

I love everything but the back, but that would probably grow on me eventually.

[BAD LS1]

lol continental kit makings by the looks of that trunk. Looks like a subaru from the front.

[Poncho]

G8 competition, LOL.

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

I like the back end, it reminds of a Mark 8 wit the continental kit and slanted tail.
I doubt Ford will build anything that nice as a Taurus. A winner if they do provided it does not have a shoddily designed engine in it.

Still too expensive with a base price of almost 26K. It needs to have a base of closer to 20K to get people really interested.

[OxmanWI]

Agree^^^

I've never really liked the Tauras, but that looks really nice.

[Car Guy]

I know it's not the second coming of Jesus but I am VERY anxious to see if they actually come out with a SHO model; TT EcoBoost (350+ HP/Torque) + AWD + 6-speed? =

Yeah I know I'm a Taurus geek.....

[johnny--2k]

if you only want to spend 20K, buy a Milan or Fusion. Not many mid to full size sedans coming in much under 25-26K nowdays. Please dont say a chevy malibu either....

[Stangman98]

I won't buy anything but Ford, but I'll be damned if I would spend that much base price. They wonder what the hell the problem is...it's the prices!

[johnny--2k]

it's not the early to mid 90's anymore. Everything is more expensive....Steel, plastics, labor, etc...

It sucks, but it's the truth.

[Cjburn]

For the way Ford's depreciate, you'll probably get a year old one for around 15K. Hell, they way they discount you can probably pick one up close to 20K anyways.

[Car Guy]

Sad but true, however I have no complaints.....

I've been looking at eventually picking up a `05-`08 Ford Freestyle and it's amazing what you can buy a completely loaded one for with low miles.....

as far as the taurus that is out right now, you are looking at 18-25 depending on the mileage and the options......taurus x 19,900, freestyle.....I have one with 21k on it fully loaded that we have priced for like 14 or so

If you want a midsize vehicle that will pack a lot of bang for the buck, wait til 2010/2011....there wil be a svt version of the new fusion with the ecoboost engine in it.....that should be a real screamer

I love the Freestyle. Black, limited edition (no ugly gray plastic bumpers). Mmmm... Except I have no use for a vehicle like that.

I wish the Flex could tow a car trailer though. I really, really like those.
