As it’s done with the Five Hundred sedan, Ford has taken a step back in time with the ex-Freestyle crossover. For 2008, the Freestyle has changed its named — to Taurus X.

 

The newly dubbed Taurus X also is significantly revamped from the ’07 edition of the Freestyle. As shown earlier this year at the Chicagoauto show, the Taurus X gets a new 3.5-liter V-6 with 60 more horsepower than the 3.0-liter V-6 used in the Freestyle. Power is up to 260 hp, and a six-speed automatic is standard. A new face, new taillamp design, and an optional power liftgate have been added to the Taurus X.

 

The base price for the Taurus X is $27,365 including delivery, and that includes six airbags and stability control. All-wheel drive is an option. Two other models are offered: the $29,720 Eddie Bauer edition gets two-tone paint, 18-inch wheels and new badging, while the $30,700 Limited is positioned at the top of the range with leather seating.

Why should I also consider these? X

Buick's surprisingly satisfying LaCrosse has V-6 power, a great automatic transmission, and a sophisticated interior.

The Toyota Avalon's somewhat unusual styling is balanced by its vast interior room and the model's exceptional reputation for reliability.

Chevrolet's Impala was greatly improved in a redesign a few years ago, and can be a great bargain--plus, it's the only car in this group with a V-8 option.
