We crossed it off our list, and the Taurus still has a V-6 option, but the styling is the same turd-shape as the new Fusion.
Got a 2013 Taurus Limited for my wife.
Has a 288HP engine, has the Mustang look on the front end, spoiler on back, 20" wheels, hooks up real good 0-60MPH, not to bad.
Has the option for the V-6 twin turbo, 365HP, didn't get that, but that sucker has to hook up big time considering what the 288HP does.
