Are 335i owners ready to be spanked by Ford Taurus?

Saintor · 04-08-2008, 09:39 PM

Meet 2010 Ford Taurus

From Ford;

"As mentioned numerous times before, the new car will include the 3.5l EcoBoost engine delivering about 350 horses without any mileage penalty."

Year's_End · 04-08-2008, 09:56 PM

Woah woah woah there...Ford's Kinetic Design language is coming over here stateside? Wow, that alone will make their cars 10 times more desirable.

Oh, and 350 horses doesn't hurt either.

Greeney · 04-08-2008, 10:18 PM

That actually looks attractive...

The 350 HP model better be AWD only. Who would want 350 HP going to the front wheels?

Kev · 04-08-2008, 10:39 PM

That doesn't look bad considering it being a Ford product. Of course the 350 horses help.

mmm def · 04-08-2008, 10:45 PM

reminds me of the new accord a bit, not bad.

Zimo · 04-08-2008, 11:01 PM

Wow

That looks pretty good.

It can't. It won't. It shouldn't. The Mazdaspeed3 has enough trubs with the power it's putting to the front wheels, so Ford's definitely not gonna make this a wrong wheel driver.

ohhh shettt

04-08-2008, 11:34 PM

The ecoboost V6 will only be available in AWD or RWD configuration.

That aside. That new body does look pretty good. Although you could say it looks kind of like the new Accord.

Zeeman · 04-09-2008, 01:25 PM

Definitely looks good. Good to see that they are moving away from that fugly retro chrome grille.

+1 on the AWD. Big mistake if they went FWD

its ray den · 04-09-2008, 01:39 PM

the taurus saves ford once again...

sflgator · 04-09-2008, 02:21 PM

Wow, a pharmaceutical/medical sales rep's dream come true!

E30M3Driver · 04-09-2008, 02:37 PM

Guarantee at 350 HP it will be slower than a 335i. BMW does such an awesome job getting power to the ground. Ford, not so much. Even if they by some miracle went to RWD. Also weight on it will likely be much more than the 335i.

lyjw88 · 04-09-2008, 06:16 PM

wow looks nice!
but I'll take Hyundai Genesis over this one

Finally a good looking Ford.

vAnt826 · 04-09-2008, 06:59 PM

You guys are funny if you think that this design will hit stateside. With Ford's past descisions, this will be EU only.
