An insider at an SVT site I frequent stated that it's about 80% Mondeo. The article stated that it will have a turbocharged engine, but didn't state that it will be available with AWD.

So yeah.

The 2010 Taurus will be available with a TTV6 and AWD. Think about that.

And I was starting to think Ford didn't like America anymore. Not bad, not bad at all.

not bad, but why do they have to call it a taurus? that car name has such a bad stigma. . .

Money says it'll still be your standard Ford POS.

Well the looks have improved, lets see if the rest of the car has...

I'll wait to hear the specs and such. For now...it's got a TTV6. In the future...probably be a toned down V6 sedan made to compete against cars such as the Camry, or Maxima...

It is an interesting concept to say the least. I do agree with Jayson though, the car's name has a history of being stuck to a plain boring car...

Turbo Fords have always been nice but they lack alot of refinement. Unfortunately the Taurus has a reputation for being a piece of junk. I honestly dont expect much just cause of the name.

On the other had due to GM's importation of the Monaro and Commodore. (GTO and G8) Ford has announced they are seriously considering bringing the FPV Falcon to america. The old Aussie Falcon had a 4.0 Turbo V-6 with 365 BHP. The new one has a V8 making 385 BHP and can corner harder then any Mustang ever made.
Americans invented the Muscle car but those bastards down under perfected them.

Im telling you man, Americans

Piece of junk or not, the Taurus name has been around a long time and has sold a lot of cars for Ford.

I have been reading about this "ecoboost" motor that ford is going to be using. It actually sounds pretty awesome. Its going to likely be replacing v8s in everything from trucks to mustangs. Crazy I know... but with some of the things I am reading they are saying it will come in 400 horsepower setups for some cars. I say bring it on.

If it's based off the Mondeo then I don't think it will be a pile of crap. Granted I agree about the name. However, they tried calling it the 500 and when that didn't work they went back to Taurus.

Sadly, sales didn't improve. Here's an idea, call it the Mondeo.

Mondeo gets my vote for the name. The older taurus' are downt there with 90's cavaliers in my book, but this looks like a very large step in the right direction. Seems like everyone is moving from V8s to boosted 4s and 6s. I'm not complaining at all A turbo taurus/mondeo? sounds like a winner to me.

If they can pull it off, that is.

Definently has a more euro look to it. I think they should just call it a Mondeo. People will think its new and actually go for it.
