Hello my good peeps. Been a while since I posted. I had to rebuild my house.
Anyway, has anyone seen or heard of the new Taurus? And if it will come to the US?

neither hybrid nor electric, also not high end model. will not come to the U.S. verbatim. i guess you could import one but thats expensive except maybe for military.
Bummer. Cuz its a decent looking car.
Sharp indeed.
I still to this day, completely disagree with FMC having pulled completely out of / from the car market (sans their beloved Mustang).
To push your company into the truck/suv market only is just plain stupid.
My wife, and two oldest daughters have since purchased brand new cars (Wife a 2020, Oldest daughter a 2022, and middle daughter a 2023) all from another mfg'er.
Which, could've been purchased from FMC, but nope. Goodness. How dumb and shortsighted of them.
Oh well. Maybe someday they'll rethink their decisions. But by then, if the ever should, they'll have steered enough buyers away from them, and to other mfg'ers, that I doubt those very same buyers would ever circle back to Ford again.

Rotary dial instead of a true shifter... hate it.
This is one of the big "cons" on my list for the Explorer ST. Dodge made that mistake back in 2014 and brought the shifter back in 2018.

I think most of us thought this to be true when they killed the Taurus vs the 500. A rebadged Taurus for another Ford classic? C'mon man.
But then the 2010 Taurus came out and was a game changer for Ford. While I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments, what if?
What if say the Ford GT drivetrain? For the US market would be a boom! I think I would consider a car payment then lol. That could compete with the CT-5, M5, A5, in refinement and brute strength.

Absolutely. As bad as eliminating over 90% of all manual transmission cars today. Takes the fun out of driving.
