  • 2010 Stealth Ford Taurus Police Interceptor Concept

    Sleek, streamlined and slightly sinister, a specialized stealth concept version of the 2012 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor will debut at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) trade show in Las Vegas tomorrow. The concept is essentially a customized version of the Taurus police cruiser that has been designed along a theme of stealth by Blue Oval designer Melvin Betancourt. Taking inspiration from the SR-71 Blackbird stealth airplane, the exterior of the Police Interceptor concept is finished in solid black and is accented with a mesh grille and special 22 inch wheels with a...

    It's already August and the industry isn't expecting to see much more than 10 million sales, but Ford today announced it is up 2% overall and 9% in retail versus a year ago thanks in part to the government's CARS (aka 'cash for clunkers') program.

  • 2010 Ford Taurus

    Acura and Lexus aren't the brands you'd normally think of when you think of Ford's competition, but those are exactly the targets of Ford's latest ad campaign for the new 2010 Taurus. Featuring a series of torture tests, the ads try to convey the level of quality and value offered by the big American sedan. One ad depicts an interior quietness test, with a roaring jet-powered dragster between the 2010 Taurus and the 2009 Acura RL. Ford claims the Taurus is 5% quieter. Another ad shows the Lexus LS460 and the Taurus following a gravel truck. The hail of stones badly chips both cars' paint...

    Fast factory versions of frumpy family sedans are nothing new - they've been around almost as long as the industry has - but few really capture the mind of the auto enthusiast like the Ford Taurus SHO (Super High Output) did during the 1990s. Perhaps because it was one of the few American takes on the concept at the time, or perhaps because it was simply a quick and fun sedan, but whatever it was SHO fans are still clamoring for a revival. Those fans may finally get their wish as Ford is expected to launch a new SHO model, based on the 2010 Taurus sedan, at next week’s Chicago Auto...

  • Ford boss confirms new Taurus for 2009

    There’s no denying that the launch of the current Taurus sedan was a major mistake mistake for Ford. The carmaker chose to put an end to a nameplate that had been around for 21 years and featured on nearly 7 million cars, and went instead a new, nondescript number for the name of its replacement – the 500 sedan. When Alan Mulally stepped in as CEO back in 2006 one of his first tasks was to reinstate the Taurus name, but it was too late. People were confused and the boring nature of the car wasn’t sparking any interest. Over the next couple of years Ford will be updating its...
