ZOMG 50k FOR FORD?!?!?!?! WTF?!??!?!!?!!?! YOU CAN BUY 325I FOR THAT OR A C CLASS!!!!!!



Considering this car is competing with an e-class and a 5 series I think there are alot of really really really really really dumb people on revscene.

Ford has been pumping out quality cars for the past 10 years, and infact ford is prefered in europe (where everything is better than north america) than domestics. All my family in greece actualy own older ford fiestas/focus's.

hey you guys, it's got TWO turbos! it's sporty! And it's got Selectshift MKS and SR1 parts on it, whatever that means!
Taurus is nothing special...it's only a family sedan.

it should be competing with Camry and Accord.

Don't be ignorant.

Would you say the same thing about a BMW 550i?

Lets compare:

550i
4.8L V8, 360hp, 360tq
Weight: 4000lbs
Consumption: 17mpg City, 25.8hwy
Price: $80,000+

Taurus SHO
3.5L V6TT, 355hp, 350tq
Weight: 4200lbs (based on lincoln mks)
Consumption: 16mpg city, 25hwy
Price: $50,000

WOW THE BMW HAS A WHOLE 1MPG CITY AND 0.8MPG HWY MORE!!! IT'S NOT A GAS GUZZLER, BUT THE TAURUS IS!!!

From bmw.ca

2010 528i Sedan 230hp Rear-wheel $56,200cdn msrp

2010 528i Sedan 230hp All-wheel $58,800cdn msrp

2010 535i Sedan 300hp All-wheel $68,900cdn msrp

2010 550i Sedan 360hp Rear-wheel $80,400cdn msrp

From my internal resources:

2010 Taurus LTD Sedan 263hp All-wheel $40,699cdn msrp

2010 Taurus SHO Sedan 365hp All-wheel $48,199cdn msrp


The SHO is most comparable to a 550i, and the SHO has more power AND all-wheel-drive, but for $32,000 dollars less.

You can trash-talk Ford all you want, but if you drove both cars, you'd probably have a hard time justifying spending $32,000 more for a 550i. (And I *love* BMW's, I think they're awesome.. but the SHO is a good value.)

When the MKS finally comes with ecoboost, it'll be most comparable to the 550i, but it's not out yet with Ecoboost and there is no pricing for it yet.. it'll probably be in the $58,000range - more luxurious inside than the SHO, and still less money than a 550i.

50k is pretty steep.
Isn't the Taurus suppose to be a family car...sounds like a lot of money and a lot of power for a grocery getter

Yes, but this not a normal Taurus. It's like a Camry GT-Four.

No - Camry and Accord are Ford Fusion competitors.

The Taurus is more comparable to a Toyota Avalon.
