Ford Taurus
A Most Average Car

(With a Special Touch)


Edmunds history (now at archive, 2003) says it was the "Best Selling Car in America" for a while, and started out "with a smooth, jellybean-like body."

Side

It was:

Number 7 (close to average) on the Edmunds 2002 Top Ten Sales List (now at archive, 2003)

Number 6 on the Edmunds 2001 Top Ten Sales List (now at archive, 2002)

Number 6 on the Edmunds 2000 Top Ten Sales List (now at archive, 2001)

"It wasn't so long ago that the Taurus toted the "Best Selling Car in America" title (captured by the Camry in 2000). Ford hopes that a 2000 redesign will reawaken buyers' enthusiasm for the Taurus (although the car's hold on the rental car market has always been secure)."

Side Even in 2002 ratings (now at archive, 2002), acceleration is fair, fuel economy is ok, ride quality is good, handling is good, noise is "low enough,"... solid scores of 4-8 (of 10) across the board.  Total score of 57-60, depending on model, versus All Midsize Cars' average of 57. Basically, it's in the middle of the pack of the Midsize's...

Maybe The SHOtimes FAQ (now at archive, 2003) should also be mentioned.

Quote of the moment
One aspect of compassion is to respect others' rights and to respect others' views. That is the basis of reconciliation. The human spirit of reconciliation based on compassion is working deep down, whether the person really knows it or not.

Our basic human nature is gentleness; therefore, no matter how much we go through violence and other bad things, ultimately the proper solution is to return to human feeling and affection. So affection or compassion is not only a religious matter, but in our day-to-day life it is quite indispensable.
