Ford should stick to what they do best, trucks and Mustangs, and maybe improve the look of their small nimble foreign Focus. Dump Taurus for goodness sakes... and Crown Victorias only work for cops, I would scale back to a Camry size and convenient like competitor instead, maybe with a Tbird look. Big Sedans are a waste in an SUV world.
The Taurus is dead already... there should be no 2006 models available until they come out of fleets...
The Fusion is its direct replacement, and is getting very good reviews - think a blend of Camry and Accord.
USAToday's review And the base model can be had for ~$1300 less than a comparably equipped Camry, $3000 less than an Accord, and a little more than a Sonata.... (all per truedelta.com)
