Do you want to know more about the 2010 Ford Taurus? Well if you do, you may be able to get them from the designer himself, Earl Lucas. Lucas and the 2010 Ford Taurus will be on hand at the 1st Annual Great American Car Show at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum, making attendees the first people to view the actual vehicle in the metal.

Ford Taurus, the brand’s flagship product, defines what to expect from Ford’s future car portfolio: cutting-edge technology, benchmark driving dynamics, premier quality, advanced safety features and unsurpassed value. The Taurus offers more technology features – 10 of them class-exclusive – than more costly premium sedans.

Other cars that will likewise be on display include the new 2010 Ford Mustang Convertible, and the 2010 Lincoln MKZ. Head on to the Larz Anderson Auto Museum and be the first to see this latest vehicle offering from Ford Motor Company.

While it is obvious that General Motors is suffering severely from the economic situation these days, but nevertheless, it has not given up on expecting the big bucks once the worst economic storm ever to hit the world comes to an end.

If there’s one thing that investors should have learned as a result of the recent credit crisis, it’s the danger of accepting inflated numbers—whether they be home prices or advertising pages—as the norm. Newspapers have to accept that they won’t be able to return to the day of fat print budgets, and carmakers will have to adapt to a world where only people who can truly afford a new car will buy one.

But there’s a lot of disagreement about what that world will look like. And just how big the future car market will be plays a major role in General Motors’ (GM) survival. In fact, as its annual filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission made clear on Mar. 4, GM’s auditors have “substantial doubt” about the carmaker’s ability to continue as a going concern.

That statement may have been routine business for GM’s auditors, but the company’s plans to return to viability seem to be based on two pretty big assumptions. The first assumption is that there is a bonanza of pent-up demand on the other side of this downturn. The second is that the rebound will be big enough to service the debt that the company will have as it borrows more from the government.
