I also just saw another comercial and it has a thing in the side rear view mirrors that indicates to you when somehting is in your blind spot. Something so simple yet that could really save some lives (mainly with motorcycles and stuff). Great idea IMO

I also agree, the looks arent bad but there not exactly TR style for the most part.

Credit for making the car, but a base of $37,000 for anything that says Taurus is a bunch of crap, even with boost and AWD.

well you can still get the regular one for 25ish which is not too bad. yeah 37k starting is a bit much for it but id have to see the interior quality on that. If its good id say its worth it

I was a ford dealer this past weekend. They had a nice 09 Fusion on the lot. And I must say I was really in love with the car. The 09s are so much better thant he previous gen and the interior was just awesome. I wish I could afford one

I normally like to keep technology out of my cars, less nannys the better. But that is a badass feature, Helps with motorcycles. I think all women drivers should have it

PS. The adaptive cruise control is pretty nice aswell. I hate having to turn mine off when theres a slower car infront of me just to change lanes.
