Conan O'Brien takes "60 Minutes" Correspondent Steve Kroft for a spin around Los Angeles. The catch: he's driving a dust covered, 1992 Taurus that may or ...
+sebaspaz0103 yes but I'm talking about like I guess the size of the front and back ends and the height. Just look at cars from this current decade. Their front and back ends are so large haha. Wouldn't you agree? And grills have gotten huge as well. The current Ford Fusion or the Lexus RC for example. So gaping.Modern cars also look very angry.
The big car never left. It 's just that most people couldn't afford the fuel so they passed. People with bucks never left big cars. If gas stays reasonable and middle income people feel good about their financial situation, they'll get big cars again.
2010 Ford Taurus
Cars.com's Joe Wiesenfelder takes a look at the 2010 Ford Taurus. It competes with the Chevrolet Impala and Mercury Milan. Shot and produced by: Sarah ...
Use as company car, replace at 60,000 miles had 2006 500 have 2008 Taurus
now/40,000 miles will order 2010 this spring. if they improve as much as
they did between 06 an 08 will be very good car great traction control on
08, 30+ mpg highway good ride and lots of room. love the Sync option. 2
things don,t like, AC does not cool as should when car is stationary and
has loud howling noise on highway and rear windows open. l Not as fast as
my air cooled German car but it has power windows and AC
Should I be hired by Ford to assist them in evaluating and correcting their
models before they are launched, we'd be winning the battle against the
Japanese and Europeans. I'm really tired to see how our car industry can't
defeat them around the world. After all, a car is a work of art and art is
perfectionism in every sense. As a Math PhD student I love sciences and
arts. Ford thinks technically, but needs a strong doze of arts for their
models, so do the other national brands.
Oh my goodness, one more time Ford fails to beat the Japanese models. I
can't believe how Ford engineers and designers have created such a
disproportional and asymmetric machine model like this. Look at the rear
lights and see how ugly and disproportionate they are. Who designed them?
They spoil the back sight of the car completely. Compare them to the ones
in any Honda's model and see the difference immediately. No words about the
front part, flat and long without any art.
I am sorry if I did not make myself clear on my comment. I was referring to
the quality of the video and not to the quality car and when I posted the
comment the image of the review was horrible ( i think becasue I was one of
the first to watch it and it had not fully upload the image quality of the
vid.) And about the Ford Taurus, I love the car and I think it looks good
and the SHO is quite fast and the quality is not bad and FORD is improving
on quality a lot.
I know that a car is more than arts and personal tastes, but by its sight
it defines its future, just remember the Pontiac Aztek. The lack of
symmetry and well designed and distributed contour lines will ruin a car
success in today's world market completely, no matter how good the engine
is. In this world It's arts mostly that play the key role in choosing a car
for humans are more visuals than thought. You won't definitely go for an
ugly model, wont you?
Oh and again nice job with your tags. Trying to catch elderly people or
something with those? Last time I checked elderly people don't really use
computers. If your really gonna do Ford a favor by helping them sell this
car after handing you the keys of this 40K Taurus. Then try to tag people
with real full-size competitors. (Who is really gonna research a Mercury
Grand Marquis that knows how to use a computer?)
That's what i said, they have the same design but they that is where the
similarities end. What do you mean it should replace the fusion, it is in
the compact car category not midsize, if you were to bring the mondeo here,
it would just be the top of the line ford focus what would be the point.
People in america are not going to pay 20k for a FWD compact car by ford.
Anyways, Top Gear and Fifth Gear are from the same country and serve one
purpose, say their bias opinion. They complain about how the Corvette is
too american. What the hell does that mean? Jeremy Clarkson will say how
the GTR is easy to drive and it is fantastic and in another episode he
complains about how it is too easy to drive. They are just stupid.
a lot of the crownvics size is due to wasted space and over hang. the
taurus has just about the same interior space as the crown vic T= Headroom,
f/r 39.0/37.8 in CV=39.5 in/37.8 in Legroom, T= f/r 41.9/38.1 in
CV=41.6/38.0 Shoulder room, f/r T= 57.9/56.9 CV=60.6/60.0 Cargo volume T=
20.1 cu ft CV=20.6 the taurus is bigger then the new charger
I saw this new 2010 Taurus recently, and the side of the car that (he made
reference to) is "sculpted out" looks very, very sharp in person. So many
ppl are still under the belief that this is still a "Taurus," not realizing
how far upscale Ford has taken this car. It's now a near-luxury car, and
I'm smitten with the SHO version.
It might FINALLY be a hit? I guess this young man is TOO young to realize
just how many of these cars sold in the 80s and 90s. This is Ford's 5th
best selling model in history! Only the F-150, Escort, Model T, and Mustang
sold more. And it sold to people who could actually afford to buy and own
them.
yes true, they're very bias and even boarderline racist against the usa and
the usa's auto industry and they can't make up there minds like when
topgear reviewed the mazda rx8 . My favorite car reviews are. insideline,
carscom, cnet, kbb, mpgomatic, thedriversseat, caranddriver, and fifthgear.!
@Catlow20 Hearing some people talk about how crappy american/ford cars are
and how they won't even make it to 100,000 miles, you wouldn't get that
idea. I've known people that drive their taurus all the way up to 300k
miles with routine maintenance. This "ford is crap" myth needs to die
Why does the description say it competes with the Mercury Milan? First of
all, Ford doesn't compete with itself. Second of all, Millan is a mid-size
sedan. Aren't you guys supposed to be informing people with correct
information on the car market? Not confusing them!
the ford mondeo is a ford focus here. The 2000-2007 Ford Focus had the the
same body style to the Ford Mondeo, just had different configurations and
head and taillights. The design is the same but that is where the
similarities end. Try to lay off the Top Gear.
@Simbuilder5 Whats even worse is when they get some tall ass person
reviewing a car with a sunroof and complaining about head room. For people
who dont know, when you get a sunroof you lose about 2 inches of head room
for the roof to slide into itself.
hey just want to point out something... Mr.Wiesenfelder said that the
Taurus may finally be a hit....it was a hit in the 90's...then Jack Nasser
came along and screwed the Taurus and the whole company for that matter
over....
Insideline is like a review for regular drivers, they will give times that
are about .3 from the official time. They will 0-60 by just stomping on the
gas instead of launching the car. which i guess it good in its own way.
I like the look of the car. The features inside the car are fine with. The
only problem I have with the car is how you sit. I personally like to sit
low to the ground like in average car, not sit as high as in a SUV.
TheZachalope, ' 1 - fuel gas in hole on left side driver is better than
right side,,, never drive while empty gas,,, 2 - front grille is still not
enough cooler,,, this car is still not good design, turn DOWN
TheZachalope, ' thank explain,,, but still lousy / poor design this ford
taurus car,,, ford can fix it pipe exhaust smog on right side and gas in
hole on left side,,, this car is a RECALL,,, turn DOWN again
The ford mondeo has design elements from the focus but they're different.
top gear isn't the only one who thinks the mondeo should be over here to
replace the fusion. I watch fifth gear but nice try.....
@Simbuilder5 Any average sized person can fit in just about any vehicle
without a second thought. For us 'tall ass people' its important to know
what cars do and don't have enough leg/head room.
In the description for your 2010 Taurus review, you list the Mercury MIlan
as a competitor. The Milan is MIDSIZE, the Taurus is FULLSIZE. Hows about
listing the Toyota Avalon or something else??
Wow. Ford is the first American automaker to implicate a twin turbo system
into a sedan or a car for that matter. Just a little disappointed that a
car 360 hp only goes to 60 is a mere 5.6 sec
3:21 I'm sorry, did you say finally be a hit? There are a lot of 04-06
models on the road, even still, I own an 04 myself and every time I drive
somewhere I see 2 or more on the road
You guys should change your description. The Taurus doesnt compete with the
Mercury Milan, a smaller midsizer. The Impala is fine, the Toyota Avalon
should be listed there instead.
Its ok man. U like the Ford Taurus??? I have never driven on but I have
heard comments that is really comfi etc. I really like the cabin especialy
the ambient light function!
' how come this car do not have a gas in line on the left side as a driver
side,,, this front bumper is too small hole and not enough to get cooler
air to the radiator
' all models of FORD automaker is a not good job, lousy, poor design,,,
FORD is hope that a driver getting accident their ford vehicle anyday
anytime anywhere
' no no thank,,, i dont like this ford taurus car,,, it is so ugly car and
wrong design and weak body plus 2 weak both bumpers,,, forget it about this
car
