okay thank,,,
i did look at this SW ford car is still not good design,,,
prove it,,,
1 – NO have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights for turning sign and parking lot emergency,,,
2 – front grille is a block and not enough getting airflow cooler to the radiator / motor,,,
3 – two front amber lights on a grille is too far from turning sign on 008 to 009,,,
4 – two front amber lights must be on the fender both body sides,,,
5 – ford is a not good design and poor design
@bestamerica It’s a great design… one that revolutionized designs of American autos from the boxy-style of the 1980s to the round, aerodynamic style of the 1990s.
@dadsoldtapes ” ya gotta thank the taurus if it werent for this car the cars today would look just as ugly as the cars 25 years ago “. Totally agreed. The Taurus was most certainly a forerunner of body design. Heck, many companies still copy that bulge of the Taurus door handle area that runs the length of the car. Design thieves.
i meant as a general term for wagon… i hate that all we have is minivans now in place of these. I guess the SUV got them to but i like those,… all i meant was that i miss the idea of a wagon in the general market place… All we have is the XC70 now but i would prefer a car that is more affordable for the masses
my parents had the sedan version of this car up until a few years ago. it survived two major collisions (got plowed into by a suburban in the middle of the night, twice) and it still kept going. also the little hubcaps with the ford logo kept getting stolen :p the car still never had any electrical or engine problems. very dependable that car was, i’ll miss it.
I guess it’s all relative, mine’s never given me any trouble, much better than the previous (new) Chrysler’s I’ve owned, where the cruise control randomly engagues on its own, and then directs full throttle, or when they wouldn’t start. The Taurus seems to always get me there, without any trouble.

@irolliamvolvo Are you sure you didn’t just have a lemon?

This was one of the ugliest cars of the 80′s.
November 16th, 2011 - 07:01
These 85-00 Taurus suck not enough power as the 2001-2011 are which are better to me.

We both were wrong. Apparently they still make the wagons but not in mass production. Search google to see
