It’s time for a new Taurus and Ford has just the thing for us. The 2010 Ford Taurus will be unveiled in front of your eyes at the Detroit Auto Show. Earlier versions of the Taurus became the best-selling passenger car in the USA during the 90s but then the Taurus lost its appeal.
What better way to revive it than with a fresh model for the near future. The 2010 Taurus has been completely redesigned, but will it be as successful as its predecessors? With these difficult economy times people won’t probably rush out of their houses to get a new car soon. Or will they do exactly that for a new Taurus?
Besides the exterior new look we’re going to be surprised once we enter the vehicle too. It has safety and technology written all over it. Intelligent Acces, Push-Button Start, MyKey, the latest Sync version (which we have already told you about), Sirius Travel Link, the Blind Spot Information System or BLIS and the Cross Traffic Allert system are all present.
Need I say more? Oh yes I do! The 3.5L Duratec V6 engine will power these babies. It can get you 263 hp and 249 lb-ft of torque. A twin-turbo, direct-injected EcoBoost 3.5L V6 is also in the works. The basic models will sport a six-speed automatic gearbox while the SEL and Limited models will get the extra SelectShift paddles to the steering wheel.
All of that and much more is available at the Detroit Auto Show for you to explore. And all of that will be available for the same price the 2009 Taurus sells: $25,995 and up.
