| Spy Shots: 2010 Ford Taurus - Now with undisguised interior! | | 2008-12-25 08:32:00 | | Late last week we clued you in to some spy shots of the 2010 Ford Taurus, and now that more mules are circulating frigid greater Detroit, we've got a whole set of even more revealing snaps. These KGP photos of a different prototype shed even more light on the Blue Oval's pivotal new sedan, including the first undisguised shot of the all-new interior.Beyond the obvious jelly-bean camouflage, it should be noted that these up-close images reveal that Ford's anti-spyshot posse has done a commendable job of altering the shape of the light clusters with tape, particularly in the tail lamp area. We particularly like the nod to the new Nissan 370Z headlamp shape up front.The big news, however, is inside where we see the Taurus taking a decidedly upscale tack thanks to premium-look materials and a twin cowl dashboard design. Notable highlights on this prototype include dual-zone HVAC controls, oversized chrome-ringed air vents (which should help cut down on fan noise), a Sony branded ... | | By: Autoshows | | |
| | Spy Shots: 2010 Ford Taurus leaves the studio | | 2008-07-11 21:46:00 | | The current Ford Taurus is a safe and reliable vehicle with plenty of space for a family of five. The Taurus is also completely invisible in the large car market, due mostly to its vanilla appearance. The Blue Oval is hoping to correct this issue with the next generation Taurus, which is due in 2010. We've already seen a blurry photo of a handsome clay model back in April, and now the future Ford flagship has been spied on the street as well. Spies have caught a well-camo'd Taurus mule undergoing testing on public roads, with a new grille and modern-looking headlights that are exactly like the model we saw earlier in the year. The test vehicle also displays the same basic shape as the model we showed you back in the spring, which carries a more subdued version of Ford of Europe's Kinetic design theme. Gone is the odd-looking bulbous greenhouse from the current model, giving the future Taurus a more modern appearance. According to MotorTrend, front- and all-wheel-drive variants will be ... | | By: Car News | | |
| | Spied: 2010 Ford Taurus | | 2008-07-11 01:14:00 | | The 2010 Ford Taurus made its first appearance in April, when a grainy picture of the vehicle's clay model surfaced on the internet. Now, spy photos of an early, heavily-camouflaged prototype of the fullsize sedan have arrived.The new Taurus will carry some elements of Europe's "kinetic design" styling, but the flamboyance of the Mondeo will be toned down for the large car using design elements from current North American vehicles.It is expected to stay front-drive with available all-wheel drive... | | By: My Blog | | |

| 2010 Ford Taurus image leaked | | 2008-04-09 02:13:19 | | I was quite surprised to see a picture of this car so soon, not sure if I like it, sort of has a plain look to it, but then, it is a low quality grainy picture. I’m sure it’ll look better in a darker color and in high resolution. The car is rumored to be [...]... | | By: Sourkandy | | |
| | Rumored: Ford Taurus X To Be Cancelled | | 2008-02-24 10:24:00 | | Jalopnik is confirming that the Taurus X will be cancelled after the 2009 model year. The original 2005 Five-Hundred and Freestyle debuted to a slow sales start and were around until 2007, when the Ford CEO Alan Mulally decided to resurrect the Taurus nameplate on the refreshened 2008 models. Along with their new names of Taurus and Taurus X, each got corporate faces with three-bar grilles as well as the automaker's new 3.5L V6. Ford must've thought sales would pick up in earnest as the 2008 models were both more interesting to look and more powerful than the vehicles they replaced. But sales didn't pick up and Mulally recently announced another major change for the Taurus: a completely new version for the next year that he calls, "the one we should have made originally." According to Jalopnik's informed insider, the Taurus X model is apparently not included in those plans.Ford has not officially commented on the cancellation of the Taurus X, but if the rumors are true, we sa... | | By: Car Freaks Blog | | |
