    It is fugly, but at least Ford can make it through 2009 without any bailout money...

    DEARBORN, Mich. — By shunning government loans, Ford Motor Co.'s top executives say they hope to buff up the automaker's image and set it apart from its cash-starved Detroit competitors, General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC.

    GM and Chrysler are in desperate need of government money and may not last until the end of the year without it. But Ford set up $23.5 billion worth of credit in 2006, and both Chief Executive Alan Mulally and Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. told The Associated Press on Tuesday they are confident that the borrowing, coupled with restructuring and new product plans, will get them through the recession without relying on the government

            VERY ugly, but it is still an upgrade over past Taurus's. THOSE were about as ugly as they got...

              Ford comes to the rescue with the Mondeo? the Focus ST? the Focus RS? no, just this atrocity of a car

                It looks better than the current Taurus.

                  I really cannot understand anymore what alll the bashing on the U.S. cars is about on here. I know its a BMW forum, but hell, the euro Mondeo is the ugliest crap on the road, and just because you guys don't have that crap there doesnt mean for 1 second that it is good.

                  FORD EUROPE is worse than FORD U.S.!!!!!! the ford cars ARE JUST AS CRAPPY HERE!

                  the Focus ST is known for being a typical piece of crap ford that falls apart regularly.-- Fords here are NOT built anything like BMWs and as sad as it is, even the quailty of crappy ass VW is tons better.

                    :zzz: How boring.

                    Ive owned 10 Taurus SHO's. Ranging from 89-95. I can vouge for how crappy these cars are. But that Yamaha motor was really awsome.

                    So I guess theres a performance version in the works. Something along the lines of a twin turbo ecoboost v6 with a MT.. But Ford is lame, and theyll sell out as usual.
