Uh oh, Ford's completely redone passenger car savior has found it's way online.



Slated for 2010, the Taurus will be completely new and packing a turbocharged V6 with optional AWD. I must say it's not half bad looking.

No RWD?

Looks almost exactly like a Mazda 6... but I like it. And a turbo V6 with AWD? That'd be a nice family car/ DD.

I was thinking Toyota, but definitely Japanese looking, and that's sad.

It may be sad, but it may also be the ONLY thing that will lure the sheeple-lemmings in this country out of their F'ING Camrys, and save Ford's ***.

Most domestics already have the build quality, reliability, performance, etc. of their 'gold standard epitome of perfection'<- Camry.
So maybe it takes looking like one to get those afforementioned sheeple out of theirs and into a domestic nameplate for once.

It's worth a shot! I hope it works for them.

I think the new Malibu looks too Japanese as well.

Well, that would make sense. Aren't Ford and Mazda still in cahoots? Ford Taurus = Mazda 6... makes a lot of sense for Ford, from a reliability/quality standpoint at the very least.

Not too shabby looking, although I'm still more prone to the G8.

I don't think it looks bad at all, would make me consider a Taurus unlike the past models.

i think it looks hot, i wouldn't buy it tho. does look really nice tho. i can see it selling really well here.

To me, it looks like a product of Ford of Europe's design studio, which is definitely a good thing. The front end screams Focus RS and Mondeo...

I hope they start offering manuals with the V6's again...

Never fear F-body fans . That car is way to pretty for them to bring over here to America. Didn't you know all really nice cars go to the aussies ?

Twin Turbo V6 and Awd? Sweet

Looks nice...

OSUBraden

All new cars look similar these days, and the only thing that slightly changes are the front valances and the lights.

Either way, I like the new looks.

Sal Collaziano

Looks good to me.. Reminds me of the Mondeo a little bit...

TriShield

The new Taurus is confirmed to be AWD and will offer Ford's new turbocharged V6, power will be 350hp.



This photoshop of the leaked photo is said to be extremely close to what will be in showrooms.
