Alright!! I guess I could've broken it down into more specific trim levels. For example Ford Tauras SHO vs Lumina LTZ. There's so many different engines availiable in the two that I guess it'd be hard to compare. I know that they stopped producing luminas in '01 (in the US)...not sure about the tauras....I think they're still being produced...that's a plus for the ford fanatic.
