The Taurus of the mid-90s was a festival of ovals - impressive in a strange way but terribly tiresome over time. That Taurus evolved into a less offensive car at the dawn of the new millennium. Then Ford basically replaced that car with the Five Hundred; which turned back into the Taurus; which evolved into the much more stylish 2010 Taurus that you see here.
Early impressions of the Taurus are mixed, even bittersweet. Possibly a bittersweet symphony, but that won't be finalized for a few days. Given the overwhelming nature of the positives and the unbecoming aura of the Taurus's negatives, the pro & con list below is the most efficient way of opening you up to this Ford's mannerisms.
PROS
Space: it's everywhere - trunk, back seat, front seat, glove box. Everywhere.
Quiet: typical of many new large cars, the silence is pervasive.
Solidity: that which should be damped is, that which should clock does.
Style: it doesn't knock you over like the initial Chrysler 300, but it is clean and classy.
CONS
Stature: you don't get space without it but this car is gigantic, only 4 inches shy of an Expedition.
Ride height: somehow perfect for ingress yet rotten for egress. Plus the Taurus sits a little high out back.
Visibility: the pillars could hold up the Parthenon and the cowl is about level with the Parthenon's ceiling.
Image: one way or another, I can't shake the fact that it says Taurus on the back.
