To all the skeptics,
Yeah, the Taurus must really suck. Ford only sold about a zillion of them. There is no denying that within five years of its introduction, almost every car manufactured looked like a Ford Taurus. So much so that I remember one auto reviewer quipping that the redesigned Ford Taurus is the only car on the road that doesn't look like a Ford Taurus.
The Taurus was a homerun that every auto manufacturer dreams about.
They sold a billion pet rocks, too. That doesn't mean that the product didn't suck.
