It is bland by modern standards. About as bland as everything else on the road these days. But what I like about them is that I can fit in it.
I'm 6'3", and if I wanted to buy any other car I could fit into, it would cost me about twice as much or more.
I'm a big guy myself, and I stick with the Crown Vic. Unlike the Taurus, the Vic's powertrain is bulletproof.
