| Road Test |
The Taurus you’ll find today at dealerships is not at all related to the bland rental-car fleet vehicle that was sold through 2007. Just so Ford could make it especially confusing, it seems, in a time when the company is changing names as haphazardly as an informer in a witness protection plan, the current Taurus originally went on sale in 2005 as the Ford Five Hundred. That new sedan shared running gear with the Volvo XC90 sport-utility vehicle (and the previous Volvo S80 big sedan), which explains the vast interior spaces inside the latest 2009 Ford Taurus.
