yeah… I remember in 89 when they were new… for the time I thought the car was an amazing package… a lot of people like my grandfather who could have purchased the BMW or benz were buying these not because they were a good value, but because they acctually liked it better. ---

> [@JCuz](#): > > lol, is your brother on the list to get one yet? :wiggle: it is soposed to be getting a dual clutch transmission. Apparently the original intent was to use their newer 6sp automatic but it is not handling the power of the eco boost well so they delayed its production 2 years to 2010. The taurus AWD system is a bit different that the fusion drivetrain even i 6 speed trim as I hear it. the fusion has a open center and open rear diff while the taurus/500 has a hadex LSD center and LSD rear. That should make it pretty unstoppable in the snow… the huge weight also helps make it unstoppable lol. It has been rumored that the new generation (7th gen) taurus is slated to recieve major weight reduction compared to the current model, so hopefully they can get it into the low 3K range along with a proper performance suspension… Yes I will be one of the first on the lot to test drive one when theyhit lots next year IF they actually make it to production. I just hope GM helps ford make this new transmission like they did on the current 6sp so it doesn’t suck balls like the AX4S and AXOD-E. edit: My sho is no race car but it moves pretty good 🙂 ---

You can get one now for what? like $50 and a half eaten taco? Pull that motor and put in a B16 and you might have something.
