   Love the car - - but why on earth did Mullaly & Co. build it LONGER THAN THE FORD FLEX ??? Way too big.

   The malibu???? please.....there is nothing pleasing to the eye with that one...same old GM "stuff"...much improved over the former model, but not even close.... to the new taurus.. sorry.... listen to people who did unsuspecting reviews with the nameplate covered up on the taurus. this is going to be a huge hit for Ford and American cars

   Too bad the Tuarus doesnt compete with the Altima, or Malibu. It competes with the Bland Avalon, and Impala, but it does compete with the Maxima. I also hope it' big because it's a full size car.

   I have the 2008 Limited Taurus. I am 6 ft. 5 in. and weigh 365 lbs. This car is the most comfortable car I have driven, besides the Chrysler Pacifica. For those folks who do not like a large vehicle, you all have plenty of choices. I am glad to see Ford producing such a comfortable sporty car with relative good mpg. I would also like to see some of the updates on a Town Car and Crown Vic. I think there is still a market for a large affordable highway cruiser. I have owned Nissan, Toyota and GM. My 08 Taurus beats them all for value. Cannot wait to try out the 2010 Taurus. I know it will be a hit. Thanks Ford for producing the cars we want. Oh, the Chrysler Pacifica was comfortable but to expensive to operate.

   The 2010 Ford Taurus? No way!! It is way over priced and simply is not what the economic society is looking for. 20 MPG? Please, I'll buy a F-150 then. You have disappointed me for the last time. I'm going Chevy.

   You folks that do these reviews need to get a new gig because you obviously don't know jack about cars. The '10 Taurus is NOT new! Only the styling and interior are new. Underneath the new sheet metal and better upholstery is the same platform (loosely based on the Volvo S80) as the last several model years, and with the same 6 speed tranny and 3.5L engine it has had since '08. Yes, the 263HP 3.5 arrived in the Taurus in '08, as did the GM/Ford jointly developed 6 speed transmission. I've driven my '08 Taurus a little over 50K miles, and just ordered a '10. Same car, new lipstick. Looks more modern, but unfortunately they took what was one of the most commodious and comfortable back seats, and sacrificed it on the altar of zoom zoom looks. Bad decision. Cars of this exterior dimension should have limo accommodations in the rear passenger area. As mentioned in the review, unless you are a gnome, do NOT order a moonroof. Even in the front if you are anything over six feet tall, you will be uncomfortable. Handling is very similar to the last couple models, which actually is not bad for a big heavy sedan. New car is marginally quieter, and the styling is pleasant, but way too much sacrifice was made in the visibility and interior volume department. In fact, this thing only has one more inch of rear leg room than the Fusion, and the Fusion (Mazda 6 pan) has a very cramped back seat for adults. Not a bad attempt at an update, but geez Ford, after 100 years in the biz you would think you should know that your big car should be big inside too. Start working on the fix for this now so when I order the next one my wife won't be complaining about the back seat, which I have already heard from her about with this one, and I don't even have it yet!

   Drove one over the weekend and can say I'm overly pleased. I'm going to buy one this weekend if I can find the right color combo. Great car, better handling and pickup than my Accord. Drive one and you'll love it!

   We just purchased a 2010 Taurus. I hve driven these cars for years. My question is about the headrests. I didn't test drive this car because my husband bought it, But am I the only one that thinks these headrests are extremely uncomfortable? I can't configure the seats in any way that will position my head so that it is not protruding too far forward. It is giving me back and neck strain.

   Rented one for a week. Adequate road manners and power, but visibility was so poor to the rear and also to the sides that backing up or changing lanes on the interstate was a very stressful process.
   For my money?
   Keep shopping.

    I traded in my 2008 Ford Taurus for the 2010 Taurus. I thought the 2008 was a great act, but Taurus 2010 is the Taurus ever built and one of the best car i have ever driven. This car glides, is very responsive and obedient, like reading your thoughts !. The exterior is aerodymamic and the drivers seat feels like a cradle ! THe dashboard is logically arranged, and like a cockpit. The climate control, the Sirius radio, the heated side mirrors, and the rear doppler enhances the safety and confidence of this car, in addition to a supoerior and noiseless acceleration.
    Kudos to Ford automobile Engineering !

    I got a new SEL AWD with full options. Much better car, may be better than most of the premium sedans of its class for the value. My only concern is the rear visibility.

    This is another example of Ford really stepping up on their car designs. There are a few hints of the Mondeo and Interceptor flavor that make it fit nicely into the line up of new Fords. I personally don't like the parallel-ness of the body side as it makes the car seem a bit static. I wrote more about the design and about some improvements that could have been done at http://bit.ly/1ab1vE
