The 1st gen Taurus body/frame/V6 block dates back to 1986 (1985 introduction) so it's 19 years ago, not 15. The CDW27 is now a decade old, for sure.

Ford HQ gave up on the Contique by 1998, pushing $$$ into SUV's (Escape), letting it die off. Only now are they finally working on new sedans, 500 and Futura.
