This might take another generation to play out though. We'll see.



Even with a turbo V6 instead of the V8 it would be a compelling car. However, they already have enough problems fending off competitors when trying to sell their RWD Cadillac sedans. Creating another potential competitor in-house would probably not lead to a profit increase for GM. Quite likely the opposite, unfortunately.

I agree, hopefully Ford will produce a better Taurus the next gen as for its size its cramped, and even in cop spec it leaves a bit to be desired. I say bring back the Crown Vic with an TTV6 or the 5.0, make it large and handle decent.
