Well, I really don't see what's so bad about the 2010 Taurus redesign that it made the top 10 worst. Here's the article http://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2014/11/13/cars-worst-car-redesigns/18980109/

Well, it IS a rather large target :)  But notice, no mention of Sync/MFT, etc. which is usually the main gripe with Ford vehicles of this time period.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I consider it rather average by appearance. But it is a simple design, with simple lines. And it is along side some autos in that list which contrast the Taurus' simplicity quite a bit. Now, for the interior, I can't offer much defense.  The car is gargantuan and rather cramped on its interior. It's senseless. That's probably my biggest complaint about the Taurus.

But, I was willing to see past these quirks because Ecoboost.

Its a bit heavy but i think they're great cars. Tons of fun to drive and some of the best cabin tech around. Not to mention it's a great car for the winter with the all wheel drive.

With over twenty years of driving the taurus police cars are the best darn looking ever,Ford outlasted Chevy and especially Dodge on vehicles used for law enforcement for reliability,that has to be a plus.
