Bring back the Crown Victoria.
No doubt. Bring back the Vic and Town Car.
Now that was a great car! Such a durable platform!
They could totally do it.
Bring back the Windstar/Freestar Minivan
@@aryehrosenthal2138 LMAO. That's funny. Your a funny guy. Bring back the Windstar/Freestar. Hahahaha 🤣😂
Never should have ended the Fusion/MKZ
Love the MKZ 😊😊
Never should have gone all truck/SUV.
@@mikeparker2520 My wife and I each have one. Terrific vehicles. :)
Can't continue building them. Obama/Biden passed a new CAFE law that forced the discontinuation of inexpensive small cars and instead requires expensive EV's be built and sold.
I have an MKZ, it is a fantastic car.
@@rayrussell6258 They just announced a Taurus.
Always thought it was stupid for the Big Three to halt production of sedans. I imagine they're tired of watching Toyota and Honda dominate the entire automotive industry and are now trying to perform the inevitable backtrack.
They forgot the fact that not everyone needs or wants a SUV.
Which is why my wife ended up with a Camry TRD and won't go back. Besides, the Taurus will probably have turbos in all drive train options, so no thanks.
But the problem is Toyota and Honda have dominated the sedan market for years. Even while the big three was still making Taurus’s, Focus’s, Malibu’s, Impala’s, etc. which is why they got out of the market in the first place. Ford at least has a good market for the Taurus with police and government, but for the gen pop the sales will just never come close to the Camry or Accord.
Thunderbird made by BMW that what it counts sharing the same platform as the BMWZ4 to say parts for the Supra will be compatible for the Thunderbird.
@stevestruthers6180 you forgot that sedans barely sell anymore.
If you want to lose money YOU should start selling sedans lol.
Finally, the sedan is back. They need to bring back the smaller ones like the escort and focus.
Yes the focus would have been a much better car than it was were it not for the unreliable Powershift 6 speed DCT. I purchased a 2013 Focus back in 2016, 6 months later at 71k needed a transmission replacement luckily it was covered until the extended warranty I had purchased at the dealership. The replacement transmission seemed much better and shifted smoother, though admittedly not as smooth as an automatic with the planetary gears & torque converter. 5 months later I T boned another driver who ran a stop sign & totaled the car, I was sort of glad to see the end of it, although I loved getting close to 40mpg on the highway and had a very comfortable ride and plenty of tech features without being over the top.
You do know that this video is a lie? Ford NEVER has announced any plans on bringing back the Taurus in the US. Clean Tech is nothing but a CLICKBAIT channel.
Its the chinese Taurus. Sold in China and in a few other countries. It is never coming to the US
@@zandaughtry7936never is a long time.
This video seems to be fake news. Can't find a single article online talking about the Taurus coming back.
This is good news ,nothing beats a good old sedan as far as looks and drive ability goes
The problem I have is the low ground clearance. Old cars use to have good ground clearance that good deal with all of life's little BS moments. Every sedan keeps getting lower and lower to try and be sporty. It's ridiculous. The new Toyota Crown makes sense. But also trunks. Trunks are such a waste of space. Give me a wagon, hatch, or crossover.
The new Taurus is only going to be avaible in the Middle East
@@narwhalmilk3754More likely 😔
If you think the Taurus is a looker, you need help. Taurus was just another egg car, or as some call them, "lozenge cars". It was the car of choice for many zoning boards, zero curb appeal.
Its the chinese Taurus. Sold in China and in a few other countries. It is never coming to the US
The Taurus was one of Ford's more reliable cars. I would love to see this car make a comeback.
Actually the Taurus had Major Transmission problems when it came out.
@@Thommadura The AXOD, then AX4N/4F50N actually has a decent reputation. There was a metallurgy issue where the splines would wear away and stop driving the pump. Fix that on the affected units and you were golden. Still way more reliable than any GM FWD auto trans! And don't even get me started on the disposable explodamatic modern CV transmissions.
@@Thomas63r2 I owned a Transmission shop - when the AXOD went - it usually took the whole Drive Train with it. They were generally not available in the used market - and so we normally went to dealers to get a WH0LE PLANETARY set which was really expensive although the dealers generally did not repair the transmission they just installed NEW ones. The original THM125 gm front wheel drive had only one problem really - that bushing at the output end of the Differential would fail -and the aftermarket created a replacement seal/bearing unit that could be installed without removing the transmission - this was far better than any Ford FWD trans. However - I will agree that CVTs were just plain Junk.
The biggest mistake that GM made was using Aluminum for their pumps - which would get really badly damaged when the Torque Converters failed and spewed steel into them. But GM transmission, when working correctly, generally shifted better than Fords. THe mistake ALL manufacturers made was that when they move to solenoids for shifting - they did not specify an early Transmission Fluid change. ALL metal parts wear into each other - and give off some metal. Solenoids - being MAGNETIC SWITCHES were where the metal went when they were energized. An early fluid change would have removed a lot of this metal from the unit and allowed the solenoids to work properly longer. Remember - when they were not energized the metal would end up in the fluid. I still recommend an early Transmission fluid change today.
My ONLYproblem with my 2013 TAURUS,IS IT HAS NO RUBBER AROUND THE WINDOW OPENINGS,so water/snow just goes into the windows then you can NOT OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR,as water freezes on door saddle !..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@Thommadura Yes, I go with trans service every 25k to 30k miles for the reason you mention. Yes Sonnax and others make some great problem solver replacement parts. I've repeatedly had GM transmissions fail early, sometimes still well below 100k miles, much better success with Ford transmissions going often more than 50% longer. As they say, your mileage may vary.
Hope that they commit to make their Quality #1 priority,and affordable.😊
Nice fantasy. But it's not reality.
Beefing The service department is job #1
"Quality is job 1"
Miss that slogan
I never understood why they discontinued the Fusion, as I still see a ton of them on the road.
My wife and I loved our brand new 2005 Ford Taurus station wagon. My two daughters loved the fun rear facing third seat too. It could carry up to 7 people. It had the 3.0 L V6 vulcan engine that got 28 MPG highway and was a "flex fuel" type.
Wow that is so not at all interesting... this model is not the same old model... this video is not all about George
Another wagon would be nice.
@@slowery43 No it's not the same old model and no it it's not about me. But as a past Ford customer I am hoping that the new Taurus will have the same reliability, versatility, and economy as when this model first came out in my subjective experience. Also, I really don't care if my comments and preferences are interesting to you or not. My comments are NOT all about pleasing you. Grow up.
@@slowery43 You are weird as hell.
@@MegaGeorge1948 good comeback to an ignoraimus moron negative nelly. CB
The narrator of this video should consider a career in politics because he is good at using a lot of words without telling you anything.
I thinks it's a computer voice because it butchers the pronunciation of sedan call it a "sea-dan"
It was like we was on Newsnight...
It is AI, not a human.
This was an 8:01 minute video to say 2 minutes worth of info.
Loved our 1990 Taurus wagon. It would be great if they'd make a wagon version of the new one. Anything but another SUV or crossover.
I’d love a Taurus wagon.
Yes yes...every1 doesn't want SUV. I need a wagon
the video is a hoax, there are no plans to bring a Taurus to the US.
I had a 2011 Taurus and i miss it. I would definitely love it if Ford brought it back.
i agree. but i use tiktok and im sorry for that, some people are just the absolute cringiest on there but at least not everybody
86-95 it was a best seller,,,96-99 they KILLED IT!
Killed it?? Oh come on, the GEN 3 SHO out handles the earlier generations with it's advanced body structure and suspension system used back in those days! I am a proud owner and one of a handful that own a '97 SHO that is UNrestored and still looks like it did the day it came off the assembly line. Owned now nearly 25 years and only 57k. Still has the OEM Goodyear Eagle Z rated tires.
I remember when the Taurus first came out in 86. Everyone went nuts and had to have one. The were cars ahead of their time and people loved them. I sure hope the new Taurus has as much success as the First and Second generations did.
I am surprised, because I thought that Ford was doing away with cars and going strictly to trucks, SUVs & crossovers. Also surprised that this will have ICE and Hybrid options, and not being reintroduced as a new EV. Above all else, this car needs to be affordable for the masses, you can't make this a $50k + car.
So now that Ford is making cars again, can we see a new Lincoln Continental / Ford Galaxie that people will get excited for?
This whole video is a hoax. There has been no such announcement for the US. Most of the video shown in the background is not even Ford product. It is another company's EV product.
The Ford vehicle occasionally shown in the video as "Taurus" is already for sale in China, and has been for over a year. There was no intent to bring it to the US, because US CAFE law currently is too restrictive to sell gasoline-engine powered vehicles classified as sedans in this country. They can only be sold as trucks or SUV's, where CAFE regulation is less restrictive. Also, the vehicle shown in video is not full-size like US consumers recognize with that Taurus nameplate. It is Fusion sized.
You should also note the images of Ford CEO Farley are mute, he is not shown saying anything about this vehicle. If it was an official announcement and true, you can be sure Ford would release a video that has sound!
Exactly! Did a search and found on a few different sites-
This new Taurus is only available in the Middle East, where, we guess, the market still demands one.
@@rayrussell6258 NEW Gasoline powered sedans are selling in the US EVERDAY.....
@@wrenw1550 not just middle east, it is made and sold in China. Those places don't have CAFE regulations to meet in their country.
@@johnfranklin5277 you didn't read my comment(s) completely here and elsewhere in threads.
I've said the US companies have discontinued selling gasoline powered cars, because the new Obama/Biden CAFE regulations make it impossible to meet the standard if you sell gasoline cars. (Mustang remains at Ford, Malibu and Camaro at GM, and Charger/Challenger at MOPAR, sales volume is not very large, but unless regulations change, those cars will also be forced to go electric. In fact, announcements about discontinuation of them have already begun.) US companies don't have "credits" accumulated from prior year fleet averages that allow them to go ahead and sell vehicles that don't meet the new standards, since they were selling larger cars that customers still wanted, and simultaneously pushing small cars out the door with steep rebates to offset the lower fuel economy of the big cars. The result of that was each small car was sold at a loss of over $10K. The companies decided not to keep doing that, after Obama/Biden passed the new regulations, and have now almost completely exited the car side of the market.
The other brands from overseas continue to sell their smaller gasoline-powered cars, in part because currency exchange rate imbalances are keeping their cars profitable enough to import all the parts they require to assemble cars in US plants or import complete cars from overseas, but they will soon run out of emissions credits and be forced to switch to all electric vehicles, too, unless US regulations get changed to free up restrictions.
Truck CAFE regulation is less restrictive, and gasoline engines in trucks are not currently in jeopardy.
I owned a 1990 Taurus SHO. With the five speed and JBL sound system. What Yamaha did to the engine was amazing. The engine looked amazing also. Miss that car very much!! Hope Ford does something special again with the new Taurus!😎
Super 4 cyls or hybrid options
And I STILL have my MINT 1997 GEN 3 SHO with only 57k on it. I have been the first registered owner since 1999 (it was a Ford lease before I bought it). A great, normally aspirated performance car with so many interesting facts hidden within that many never knew about. Today, it is a HIT at the car shows and cruise nights because they are no long seen on the road these days and YOUNG people don't know anything about it.
@@garysmith8455 that's great!! I'm sure you enjoy the car!
@@ivangpavlovic5721 Thank you!, outside of the flat spotted Goodyear RS-A tires from 16 years sitting in one position, it still feels like a fairly new car. It actually rides stiffer then my 2018 Escape which actually has wider and lower tires !
Got a 2015 Taurus sel and absolutely LOVE it. Drives great, runs smoothly;glad they’re bringing it back
Mee too😂
So sorry, but they’re not really.
This new Taurus is only available in the Middle East, where, we guess, the market still demands one.
I’m curious to see what they look like and hope there will be an SHO.
Got a 2019 sho beautiful car,love it,
Would be interesting if the performance model was a AWD hybrid ecoboost that could easily produce 400 or 450 hp.
They are still sold in china. Look there
I have a 2013 Green SHO - it's been a great car for me for 8 years now, as I bought it used in 2015
Take a look at the Chinese market and you would get a glimpse.
As a former tow truck driver...
The cars I towed the most was many a Taurus with a bad transmission. The Crown Vic, or a cool retro modern Galaxy would be of interest to me.
I loved the Taurus , this looks like a fusion with a face lift, if the Taurus returns it shouldn’t look like anything else on the road.
Glad to see the Taurus back, I thought it was a mistake by Ford and Chevy to quit the sedan market
Grand Marquis, CV, TC 👍👍
Chevy still makes the Malibu.
Your right..This is true
I hope its true they are bringing back the Taurus. Loved that car. It was literally the perfect sadan. Big comfortable and reliable. Unfortunately the transmission gave out at 325789 miles. It was the greatest used car my mother ever bought lasted my mother almost 8 years.
Its the chinese Taurus. Sold in China and in a few other countries. It is never coming to the US
I doubt it. There isn't a single story online talking about it. This video is fake.
Bring back control knobs and keep the info screen built in. No tacked on tablet info screens. A regular shift lever instead of buttons too.
Bring back the Fusion.
Can't. Obama/Biden passed a new CAFE law that forced the discontinuation of inexpensive small cars and instead requires expensive EV's be built and sold.
The Fusion is in Europe, but not as a sedan.
Mondeo in Europe is what the Fusion was in US
Sorry, my mistake… The Mondeo, It’s a very sharp looking car. Don’t know why Ford does not take any ideas from Europe.
@@eggy-marra oh my, you don't understand how Ford operates. Before upper Company executives get promoted, they all go through a period of time on assignment in Europe. There are no ideas in Europe that are not included in decisions made at the Corporate level.
Ford saw all those Malibu's being sold. They realized their mistake in cancelling sedans. I wonder if the Fusion is coming back. Or will the Taurus be mid-sized.
All three Malibu's sold?
I never see Malibu’s sold now, many years ago.
@@craigc1879 The Chevy dealership up the street from me had a bunch of them. Sold them all out. I see them everywhere.
GM sold like 115K of these last year thats quite good
It's look like this Taurus is mid-size, and they have to do full-size version.
They would best serve their customers by bringing back cars like the sub $20k fiesta-something affordable as opposed to $80/90/100 k pick up trucks their dealers lots are full of and can’t sell
you are mistaken, all those full-size trucks are flying off lots. Dealers are complaining they can't get enough to sell. The demonstrators on lots stay around, but the sold vehicles arrive on transport trucks and are immediately picked up by customers who ordered them.
I agree prices are too expensive, but you can blame Obama/Biden for that. They passed a new CAFE law that effectively forced automakers to discontinue inexpensive small cars and instead design and sell expensive EV's.
Dealers are selling trucks all day long, the Fiesta unfortunately was known in the US for having bad transmissions
@@devinbiz Ford has a History of Bad transmissions, including the Original Taurus 4 speed Transaxle, the A4ld french built small overdrive, the e40d in Trucks and the Focus transmissions too.
The problem with the Fiesta, and all other sub compact cars, is they’re sold at a loss by many car dealers in order to hit CAFE targets in the USA. Ford lost money on every Fiesta they sold.
While this is true, For wants hit’s Money Making Units like PU Trucks, and SUV’s.
Well yeah they should bring a car back to the fleet line. It be more cost friendly and that will make more of a selling point. Not everyone can afford a suv or truck.
Just do it.
You need the sedan back. I miss the LTDs and the TAURUS.
The ford Taurus SHO was a beast of a car that very few knew about I hope they do another version of that
keep dreaming. they're gonna be hybrids and gutless small 4 cylinder models
Definitely a sleeper aswell as the Lincoln mks ecoboost
I hope ford brings back a console style shifter for gear selection and not anymore dials or buttons, some of us will not even consider anything but, looks better, feels better, sportier and overall more reliable , also has been a deal breaker for me personally.
I love the dial shifter on my SUV. I didn't think I would, but it is much easier to use than the levers.
I had a 17 Lincoln MKZ With the Push Button Shifter and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! It was so Simple and Properly placed!!
These car companies hire retarted engineer's. If it worked for 100 years why change it. They get a design that works and lasts forever then they think they are smarter than the guy before them and they feck it up.
I don’t like paddle shifters either. Much rather have the console with select shift.
I hate the dial shifters
Over the last 36 years, we've had 6 Tauruses (Tauri?), if you include our 2007 Ford Five Hundred. Our current is a 2013 Limited 3.5 V6. The first 3 were Vulcan 3.0L V6s, The 500 was a 3.0, and the X was 3.5L. I am in love with the Ford Duratec V6s, as my F-150 is the 3.5L EcoBoost. I'm currently looking for a Mustang convertible with the 3.7L Cyclone version. I *hope* one of these is offered in the new one, without a turbo. Well over a million miles with the many Taurus's and another 130k miles on the truck.
I’m actually excited about the Taurus coming back! Can’t wait to see it on the road again.
This video is fake. Ford is not brining the Taurus back. Most of the clips shown are of the Chinese Taurus that has been on sale over there for years.
I hope if the Taurus Sedan is rebuilt that it will make it's way to Australia. It'll give the people who don't want to drive a Ranger or SUV. Australia lost the great Ford Falcon which it's exterior front and rear design was almost the same as the last Taurus. The Aussie Ford Falcon Sedan had great engines that could be pushed hard all day and never died and had fantastic fuel economy, be it the i6 or V8.
you can probably get the Taurus imported to Australia from China, where it is already being built and sold.
Ford has no plans to expand production. This video is a hoax. In fact, most of the images shown in the video are of EV's sold by another company, not Ford product.
Notice the image of CEO Farley is mute .... because he made no such announcement.
RE-built? They are still building and selling them in China and they look amazing
@@jeffbiddle1956 Thank you for your reply.I recently read an article from "Ford Authority" regarding the Chinese Taurus. I agree that it looks amazing in design, the exterior looks almost identical to the last built Australia Ford Falcon FGX XR6 & V8. There were no interior photos however. It difficult to understand why car manufacturers insist Electric vehicles are the way to go when there are so many problems around the world with EV's, from charging issues, milage detiration when hauling, exploding batteries, batteries can only be charged to a certain level and if battery dies, all electronics close. If you happen to be inside on a cold night you can't open doors, can heat the cabin and people have died from hyperphermia in countries with snow. There are many other issues with EV's. Toyota has stated the EV is dead.
A few American motoring enthusiasts have taken a few of the fastest production Ford Falcon's to America due to many wanting to see them in action. I have an Australian built Ford Falcon 1998 EL with a 4 speed automatic, has over 427k on the clock (original mileage) still travel like new and still has the original components. Had to change the electronic turn indicator to date.
Make your day a great one.
@@tonyanzellino4359 have the central locking motors lasted as long as your indicator turn switch, or have you had to replace the central locking motors a few times already? They were a known problem on the EF’s , then on the AU- BF series...
@@paulsz6194 Touch wood, as yet the door lock actuators are working fine. The only major replacements were front bumper/grill, headlights and indicator lights, replacing brake fluid, cooling system and automatic transmission fluid due to driving through wildfires in 2016. The vehicle went through a thorough inspection. The vehicle will probably outlast me.
They should include a wagon WITHOUT THIRD ROW SEATING to include hidden storage, as they should with mid full size SUVs.
Yes, briing back the Wagon to steal sales away from these boring looking SUV's
If the Taurus is really returning, I'll wait to purchase it. I loved my old Taurus. Was upset when they discontinued it.
My favorite sedan was the 2010 Ford Taurus . Great trouble free ride and very comfortable. I like the looks of the new design and as I have read they are available or will be available in the near east. The redesign as shown is great looking and with the choice of powertrains it will be a certain success in the USA !
I believe that they should make a model with a V8, and make it upgradeable with performance parts. That would be awesome. :)
I love V8s much as everyone. I have a LS2 GTO. It wont work. The only way Dodge gets away with it is because tooling was paid for ages ago and they kept building on that niche. Itll be 51k msrp then the dealer will add another $10-15k. A Taurus V8 failed 2 times before. The niche isnt established enough to justify the price Ford would charge.
There is always the 5.0.
That would probably be more of a Crown Vic.
Fwd v8? No thanks
2000 Lincoln Continental was 32 valve V8 with FWD. That was such a great car.
I actually really like ford sedans. I hope they bring back the fusion even if it’s an electric variant tbh.
They should bring back the windstar minivan, I had my 2001 for 18 years and it was a great car. I would trade in my transit connect for a new windstar for sure. But if that happens it would have to run on the original platform but a restyled exterior. But I would still use some of the original features I even thought about redesigning my version of it.
Rented a Mercury Sable (the Mercury version of the same) in 1989 and it was one of the quietest, most refined sedans of the time. It was also handsomely styled inside and out, and much more ahead of its time compared to other domestic offerings then. Ford should consider bringing back the Mercury line as well. It doesn’t look like Ford is actually going to bring this car back to the United States.
BRAVO to FORD as long as there’s a COMBUSTIBLE ENGINE and a GOOD DESIGN and QUALITY EXECUTION ! I’m happy to hear this because if it is a gas engine it is something I thought was DONE !
Not going to happen here.

@@wrenw1550 Ford wouldn't spend a fortune RETOOLING a car just for the MIDDLE EAST. FORD is an AMERICAN CAR COMPANY, no way it won't be available in the US.
@@johnfranklin5277 You meant a MEXICAN-AMERICAN CAR COMPANY. How old are you, twelve?
Cant keep burning dead dinosaurs for evet
@@johnfranklin5277 well, Allan Mulally did commit Ford to the "One Ford" philosophy, which means one car designed for all markets...
Definitely needed as a police vehicle, a family vehicle or whatever people can do with them. Trust me, Ford should have never stopped making them. Family sedans sell, just look at Camry and Accord.
As a Camry owner, no. Those are not family cars. I personally only know one family that ever used sedans as a family car. Crossovers, minivans, and trucks are so much better options. Good car. Can be used a second family car. But the main one? Ha! Getting a Highlander, Sienna, or RAV4 makes more sense.
The Taurus has been needing a comeback since they discontinued it, they were always great reliable cars I had a 2005 and drove it into the ground and it ran perfectly
It was still alive in china
Looking forward to a ford domestic ICE vehicle , Taurus was a beautiful car! Bring it back! thank you
I need one with a Grand Marquis package... Make the ass end a station wagon.... A 429 fuel injected 8-speed... All-wheel drive... Rear wheels could be electric ,, combined 900 horsepower...
Will this be the Ford Mondeo? If so its a great move and a no brainer. It should be AWD, have various powertrain options and have the latest technologies
Ford mondeo was Fusion.
This already IS the Ford Mondeo. It's made and sold in China as the Mondeo and exported to the Middle East as the Taurus.
It could be. Maybe they'd call it the Granada. Bring that back...
When I saw this latest Taurus I was like omg this needs to be here!! So glad the Taurus is returning!
But Google it, there is no evidence that it is returning. Idk where the creator got his info.
@@ibn0721 I did. It’s only in other nations. It’s too bad, this Taurus is nice!
And I think what killed the windstar was the name change and the different engine as well. It’s a name that was well known and loved by a lot of us.
But, is this in the U.S.?
Probably Mexico.
video is a hoax; the Taurus shown is built and sold in China; it isn't coming to the US.
Obama/Biden passed a new CAFE law that forced the discontinuation of inexpensive small,medium and large cars and instead requires expensive EV's be built and sold.
The Taurus never stopped production in other world markets. But it will not return to the US, as Sedans are phasing out in the US
It looks more like an elongated Focus in some shots.
The Mk. 1 Cortina was a good car. Easy to work on and economical to run, but the 3 bearing crankshaft would wear out after 20,000 miles or less. The 1600 engine with a 5 bearing crankshaft was much better with a probable 50,000 miles life span before any work needed to be done.
It depends how big the Taurus is going to be. The Mondeo was was a popular car in England with a 2 Litre engine , mine w as a diesel my wife ha the Mk 1 Mondeo petrol engine. I stopped buying Fords because of the poor quality of service from the main dealership.
The capri was a popular car. A small engine that looks like a sports car.
Obama/Biden passed a new CAFE law that forced the discontinuation of inexpensive small cars and instead requires expensive EV's be built and sold.
The Best Car Ever!!!! I have 2 in Home 1995 LX, still working very well =) Love them.
It would be insane if they made a new SHO with a 5.0
I think this is a Chinese Taurus based off the platform of the Fusion/Mondeo that's been around a few years. It's not coming to the U.S.
a new Taurus would be great . I remember the first ones that came out they seemed so modern back then
This new Taurus is only available in the Middle East, where, we guess, the market still demands one.
I miss my old 1992 Taurus, it was my first car, and it was such a comfortable, reliable and good looking car, I Ioved it. I sold it only because I moved to Australia 😢
My theory all along is that, to maintain their lofty profitability goals, Ford would reintroduce sedans and small vehicles as China-made offerings. The absence was strategic to minimize UAW and public protests. Asia for cars, north America for SUVs and trucks. The Fusion always sold well, so something bigger was going on.
The Taurus was a good car but had a horrible reputation on almost every year built for bad Transmissions so hopefully they have finally gotten that straightened out the car I wish Ford would bring back is the LTD along with the Grand Marquis basically the same car as the LTD very popular very well-built I know for sure they would instantaneously get orders across the United States not only for your normal consumer but for your police departments and government agencies along with taxi companies in addition to that Uber drivers. Even limousine companies. In my opinion that was definitely one of the best vehicles Ford ever made I have had ltd.'s and Grand marquis's last without any problems a good four hundred thousand miles and that's with bare minimum maintenance plus they were extremely tough which totally backed up the built Ford tough reputation I seriously hope they bring that car back. Especially with the V 8 police interceptor 5.0 engine that could be shared with the Mustang. Quite frankly with as popular as that car was I never understood why they stopped making them. Because literally everyone that drove one loved it. They always have a smooth ride even on rough roads and always had plenty of get-up-and-go. Plus they were extremely safe with an excellent reputation. They practically sold themselves off the lot.
Only in the middle east currently. I can't find any new information about a US release

I'm a customer for years now. And, I'm very glad of the great news.. Taurus series is a great line up. Yesss bring back the American 🇺🇲 beautie the "Ford Taurus sedan". (It's made in America 🇺🇲💓🥰 Welcome back..!!) Good Job Ford.👍👀 America is looking at you.🇺🇲💝💝💝💝💝🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯
I have a 2015 Taurus SHO. I love the car! The ride is super comfortable and yet almost has 400hp. The odometer is about to hit 80k and, knock on wood, it hasn’t had any problems. Interior is in mint condition as is the exterior. Such an awesome automobile!
Just bought my SHO and enjoy it as well. The craftsmanship coming out of the Chicago plant where they built the Taurus is proof of American built ingenuity when it's actually done, unfortunately it's lacking these days.
I have a 2016 Taurus a great running car, but I hope Ford opens up the front seating area for us bigger guys who need LEG room. Make a fold down center console like what the F150 has (if it absolutely has to be inside), have a bench seat instead (you talk about a great selling point 6 passenger car!)...who cares about a big useless console occupied by a huge shifter...take it out, do a nostalgic design like shifter on a steering column, come-on FORD open that constrictive front!!
video is a hoax
@@rayrussell6258 I see what you mean now, looks like he's spinning the Taurus sold over seas...to bad for U.S., thanks for informing me!
When everybody in the USA wants more inexpensive hybrid Mavericks, Ford will invent something else. With limited number of factories maybe Ford should think more. And forget about beating Asian sedans in terms of reliability.
Ford doesn't get to decide what powertrain to build, nor any other company now. Obama/Biden passed a new CAFE law that forced the discontinuation of inexpensive small cars and instead requires expensive EV's be built and sold.
Also things gone wrong (tgw) data shows Ford is in a statistical dead-heat with those Asian sedans. TGW is objective data, the real facts.
What you see reported in the news and in Consumers Report magazine is SUBJECTIVE data ..... OPINIONS collected about vehicles, not true data, which opinions are influenced by what people think they are supposed to say, not by actual quality issues. For instance, one question in the survey asks if you are happy with the cupholders in your car. If you say NO, that gets reported as a quality issue. Having enough cupholders is not a quality issue at all.
The Mercury Marauder is my dream. And the SHO.
My father had abeige type color 1988 Ford Taurus and till this day, the car was very reliable and comfortable as you're seated ready to roll. I will be keeping an eye out for the new Taurus for sure.
I like the idea of a battery , for starting a cor.
I don’t like hybrids, the time for them ghouls have been long passed.
Fully electric power is useless.
I have a BMW 420d that gives me 500 miles on a tank full of diesel oil that until the end of 2022 cost me £50 for 50 litres.
Now it’s about 50% more.
I’m sure with a little thought the noxious gasses can be reduced or even converted to a necessary gas although if it converted to liquid gold there would be complaints about destabilising the value of gold.
My first diesel was a 2 year old 2004 Mondeo the next 3 have been BMW’s .
I don’t do the mileage now because I retired in 2014 I have only done 18,000 miles since I purchased it with 9,000 miles on the clock
I have owned my October 2013 BMW for 10 years. I was going to replace it but the eye watering cost of a battery powered car ……
Now the UK government has enjoyed a very nice bonus of 59% in vat on private fuel sales and have given away the road fund licence on EV’s but home charging on EV’s contains no extra charges on electric fuel easily recovered on a filling station fuel points so economy overnight electricity usage may well carry a surcharge. Nothing is free.
Bringing me back to replacing an EV battery after 10 years could well be more than the value of the vehicle which means we will have finally arrived at the disposable car. Now I would love to use my Raleigh Lennon Grand Prix pedal cycle but at 79 this year that is highly unlikely.
Unless one of the bionic man’s nuclear batteries that last forever. I was going to say a lifetime but for me that’s not much value left in that idea.😎
I bought one of the first CVs out of St. Thomas, ON. it was a fantastic car that led to many police, taxi and privates. am not confident Ford can do it again.
I am glad that FMC is bringing back the Ford Taurus. As a company right now Ford does not make any cars at all. They make trucks and SUVs, but no passenger cars. I hope that they will be successful in selling the Taurus to the USA and the world.
This video is fake. Look it up, there isn't a single article talking about it.
I still have my 2010 Taurus with 200 thousand miles on it! I will definitely buy the new one!
I never understood why Ford never marketed it in the first place.
You never saw an ad for it.
I seem to recall that Ford thought so much of the name Taurus that they changed it to 500 only to change it back.
Not exactly
@@mattverbaan6404 Huh ?
"Five Hundred" was the model name, not 500
Bring back the crown Vic v8 n all.
🚨🚔
Thank you! Every crossover looks the same, none are dynamic. Bring back cars from American mainstream brands!
Good on Ford to do this. They see there is still a market for low slung turreted sedans, even as the market returns to pre war practicality and interior roominess as 1930's and 40's cars are similar to today's crossovers and SUVS.
I don't care what anybody says the Taurus was literally just as reliable as my crown Victoria. From 85,000 miles to 219,500 miles never left me stranded and never cost me more than 400$ to fix.
Shhhheee when doing ride alongs the Taurus sucked donkey for it's regular cabin space the Crown Vic was nice
Crownvic is still far superior than any Taurus out there.
Now what I think would be interesting is after ford brings back the Taurus bring back the crown vic and the contour.
I also would like to see the 2.7 v6 ecoboost that's in the f150 the engine for this new Taurus and the explorer and mustang. That may never happen but wishful thinking here.
The Contour was a solid car.
Strangle to see this in my suggestions as I wasn’t looking for it,but I just saw this car a few days ago (prototype)for the second time in about a year. Very good looking vehicle and I feel it would sell well in North America.
People aren’t ready to give up sedans nor gas powered vehicles .
Ford never stopped building and selling Taurus in China and the Middle East. I am very doubtful of any of the information in this video as this fact was not mentioned while they went on about needing to be mindful of international sales. Ford also makes plenty of sedans for Europe. No quotation was provided from a Ford official either about the return of the Taurus in the US. At best we may get a made in China Taurus to bolster China made car volume. I expect GM will be doin the same thing - particularly with all of their "partner" EV's.
the video is a hoax; I'm a Ford retiree. It's fake.
The Ford shown is the China built and sold Taurus. All the other images are not even Ford product, they are EV's built and sold by other companies.
I recently read an article by "Ford Authority", on a new Taurus Sedan model for China which also showed photographs of the vehicle. The exterior was 95% identical to the last Australian made Ford Falcon Sedan model, the FG X, XR6T and the Supercharged V8 sedans.
As a Ford Falcon driver all my life, (parents before me) I would purchase a new Sedan if Ford made one available for Australia buyers.
Moreover, Ford would make a killing, money wise, from LEA agencies across Australia. Our Police, since the demise of Sedans vehicles in Australia, are driving mid size vehicles from overseas, mostly in station wagon style from Scota, VW, variety of SUV brands and 4x4 models. Police are not happy campers driving these vehicles all day, especially on long regional, rural and remote roads.
@@tonyanzellino4359 since the US government enacted a new CAFE law under Obama/Biden some years ago, US companies have been forced to discontinue sedans because the mileage standard cannot be met with gas engine cars, and most US consumers cannot afford $50K electric cars.
Due to that, it's unlikely a car could be made for Australia from scratch, there is no base point design to start one from the US.
The car in China does not meet US regulations, so it can't be sold in the US.
I don't know the rules in Australia about importing cars, but the only way for the near-term future you can get a sedan is to import it from China.
@@rayrussell6258 Thanks for the info, greatly appreciated.
I purchased a 2010 Taurus new and had it for 7 years. Only in the shop once for a recall repair. Good luck Ford! I hope this is a reality in the USA. And, a fully loaded version with ambient lighting and a V8 that doesn't need Premium gas. Lol
Just bought a Fiesta ST with 97k miles. They were killing it with the Focus & Fiesta. They'd be better off competing with Corolla/Civic/Golf buyers.
The big 3 were idiots to think that getting rid of cars was a good idea
Its about time (the Taurus comes back). Not everyone needs or wants a SUV or truck. Now if they could also find a way to bring the Crown Vic back.
This new Taurus is only available in the Middle East, where, we guess, the market still demands one.
Ford cannot build a Taurus in the US competively so it won't sell here. Ford never stopped building and selling Taurus in China and the Middle East.
yes they could build those Taurus competitively, and still could in a free market. But Obama/Biden passed a new CAFE law that forced the discontinuation of inexpensive small, medium and large cars and instead requires expensive EV's be built and sold. Ford decided the market will not accept $50K EV Fiestas, and they are right.
There are no CAFE laws in China and the Middle East.
I had a 2016 Taurus and it really Surprised me how smooth and fast it was. I traded for a 2019 Model and it is every bit as fun and fast and comfortable. But he I didn't know they were discontinuing it in 2019 so I had to buy a used Low milage one But it has been great. I hope the new one will be the same quality.
It's about time the realized not everyone wants an SUV or cross over. They should have never stopped production of sedans.
From what I’ve read the Ford Taurus is only being sold in select international markets mostly in the Middle East.
But on the plus side the new accord looks like a ford so if ya really want a ford car just get an accord.
This whole video is a hoax. There has been no such announcement for the US. Most of the video shown in the background is not even Ford product. It is another company's EV product.
The Ford vehicle occasionally shown in the video as "Taurus" is already for sale in China, and has been for over a year. There was no intent to bring it to the US, because US CAFE law currently is too restrictive to sell gasoline-engine powered vehicles classified as sedans in this country. They can only be sold as trucks or SUV's, where CAFE regulation is less restrictive. Also, the vehicle shown in video is not full-size like US consumers recognize with that Taurus nameplate. It is Fusion sized.
You should also note the images of Ford CEO Farley are mute, he is not shown saying anything about this vehicle. If it was an official announcement and true, you can be sure Ford would release a video that has sound!
There have been taurus's seen testing around Detroit,,,I have seen articles and photos,,,that was a few months ago
@@gsprings43 Normal stuff; I'm a Ford retiree, we always do some testing of production cars pulled off the assembly lines. Those were the China cars, not cars planned for US.
About the only way that testing would have anything to do with US plans is if they put electric motors in them. Under the current CAFE law, it is impossible to sell gas-engine sedans here, especial larger ones. In that event, it could be something someone is trying to get approved for production 4 or 5 years from now.
The video was a hoax, they used images of Farley, but notice they had no audio of him talking about any Taurus. Most of the video background was Rivian EV product, not Ford product. There was no such announcement about any US Taurus returning.
@@rayrussell6258 thanks for the explanation.
Thanks for this, I looked and found no such evidence either. This is some [at least partially] AI-generated clickbait noise and we all fell for it.
The ones from 2010-2019 are my fav editions
This is good news. Even though they are popular not everyone wants or needs a truck or SUV, especially if you live in an urban area or don't need the extra space.
Bring back the Taurus SHO. The 400hp 3.O litre engine currently in the Explorer ST would be a rocket in the Taurus.
That car already exists outside of the United States. Ford and GM didn't kill their sedans within the United States because Americans didn't want them, they killed them because we di😢want to pay the ridiculous price they wanted for them. But we were willing to pay the ridiculous price they wanted for their SUVS. I live in Pennsylvania it is basically a Ford state our state police and officials use vehicles are Fords. I'm starting to see Dodge Chargers as state police vehicles. And if was to put money on it that would be the real reason Ford is bringing it to America
I briefly had a 2012 Taurus. It was a great car I wish I still had it. Unfortunately it was totaled last year
❤Thank you for sharing God bless you
The Taurus?!“lconic”?!To hell with the Taurus bring back The Crown Vic!(with full frame V8 options and EVs for girly men)
Oh sure the will bring back the V8 how if the USA is killing the V8 engine our own country wants green in the hands of grandpa Joe and they want 40+ miles a gallon 🤣🤣 what's a v8 going to give you

Its about time now I will get a new car as long as it's gas powered. No Garbage EV s.
Hopefully the new Taurus will have Base prices in the low 20’s
Awesome, glad to hear that
Fusion we're better have a better reputation bring that back
the whole video is a hoax
Mister AI, would you make an excessively long, wordy, boring UA-cam video for me?
yeah what the fuck. right away i was like 'hey this isnt a person'
have you read the video description?? ahah damn. more words means better right???
whole video is a hoax
Hopefully it ends up with a base model that not only mean fleet sales, but something durable and not overloaded with unnecessary nonsense.
The Australian Ford Falcon is what should come back.
