I think this is a nice car for what it is and it shows that Ford is the only US automaker actually going the right direction( of course thats why they didn't need any of the bailout money either)
a 03 taurus is actually my daily. Its hardly a bad car, 210hp, full size sedan. Fake leather and a sunroof, but meh, its just bland. A guy I used to work with who would always see my driving a 300c SRT or something nice like that would see me in my taurus and just laugh because it is the last car he expected me to drive.
