i could see ford dropping the taurus they've been dropping quite a bit of product lately...and speaking for a family that had a 87 taurus for 14yrs and now has a 2000 i can say that for all the design and engineering that went into it the taurus is a rather lacking car....my contour old as it is felt tighter faster and more capable only thing is that its not as sturdy as the big ol' 2000 taurus....maybe with the duratec the power is okay but the vulcan v6 is really inadequate....plus since they went to the flying egg shape of 96-99 family sales of taurus have never been the same....lot of fleet, rentals and company cars on the road
