The styling on the current Taurus is insipid. The crazy thing is, companies like Toyota use California car design firms to style their cars so they look good. Who the heck is doing the styling for Ford? North Korea?
J. Mays was the 500/Taurus stylist. He’s very, very good at making iconic designs, but sometimes the beancounters or some of Nasser’s diversity appointees screw up his stuff.
That said, he’s admitted that he blew the 500/Taurus design and that it was a colossal mistake.
