Looks awesome! ilove the powerdome hood. You couldn't see that in the previous spy pics. Back end looks great, and overall the lines are real similar to the Mondeo. Excellent. Signs of a "global Ford".
I'm sure we'll be taking our fair share of ribbing about the new grill, though. We got rid of the Gillette Mach 3, and traded up for the Gillette electric razor. Looks nice, though.
Another thing that looks much better than the current Taurus is the wheel/tire, tire/wheel well ride height gap thing. Seems to sit down better. Almost looks RWD.
Couple the new styling with great new powertrains, AWD, and best in class fuel economy, and Ford will have another winner on it's hands!
This car and the new Fusion make me very excited to be selling Fords now. Hopefully my patience will pay off this year as Ford positions itself to be the #1 auto manufacturer in the world!
Edit: I was browsing around, and found some other tidbits on the car, the biggest being this:
The 2010 Taurus will be available, as an SEL , Limited, and eventually as an SHO, with paddle shifters for the six speed transaxle! I also noticed some pictures had the dual exhaust on one side, while others had more of a "true dual" setup. Don't know if this is for the Ecoboost, or maybe the Lincoln sourced 3.7. If it's the Ecoboost, then the next big news is that it's not exclusive to the SHO, but available at the least on the Limited. Either way, 355 hp and paddle shifters sounds like fun to me! The tranny will match revs on shifts, and bounce off the rev limiter without shifting. Hot stuff.
Also don't know if you can find any pics of the interior, namely the guage clusters lit up, but they are stunning! I'm not sure of the TOS, and posting links to other sites, but I know Sam knows how to do this.
