I heard the news this AM about VW overtaking Toyota. Wow..this should prompt many of the sheeple driving Japanese cars to consider a nice VW product. After all….these sheeple can’t be seen driving the “wrong car.” Hey, if you like German cars….that’s great. I know they a blast to drive, etc. I stand by my feelings that this 2010 Taurus will do quite well, and that Ford will do well in the coming years, etc. Even skeptics that have test driven this Taurus have applauded the job Ford has done.

The notion of buying anything with a Pontiac badge gives me pause. The reliability just isn’t there. They’ve been building some crap vehicles for as long as I can remember.

Looks are a subjective matter.

People here can quibble about their opinions on various issues all they want, the fact of the matter is (and I can’t believe I’m even saying this) that this Taurus is going to take a serious chunk out of import sales in the domestic market. Like it or not.

Wrong. I don’t give two shits about ACORN, or should I call it the lightning rod for all you genius Faux Newsers b/c those idiot paid actors you listen to routinely steer you puppets away from the real issues??? LMFAO

Your comments are so laced with racism it’s a joke. You might want to look into how many poor white folks in Mississippi trailer parks are sucking from the government teat. the number will ASTOUND you.

I’ve test driven the regular Taurus and the SHO – you’re exactly on point.

Yes, I noticed your mention of driving the Taurus before. Question: I have had both foreign and domestic vehicles over the years (a Lexus now), and I was wondering what the fit and finish of the Taurus was like? You know, like when you shut the door of an MB or BMW and the door makes that nice “chunk” sound, for example.

Wondering about the choice of interior materials too, since this is usually the first place American cars seem to be visibly lacking.

Vastly improved from years ago. Fit and finish. Best advise I can give is to go check them out yourself, and keep an open mind. Interior materials on the 2010 Taurus are a big improvement from years ago, and I would put them on part with other mainstream non-luxury cars. SHO interior trim difference is really just the gloss back plastic on the center stack and console and the very real (but clear plastic coated) machined aluminum dash trim.

Interesting. I have a couple friends who own ford dealerships. I might have to drive one just for the hell of it. Thanks for the info.
