2008 Ford Taurus X reviewed
Color us baffled by Ford's marketing moves. Oh, we understand the popularity of the Taurus name. It has worked well on the sedan. But that doesn't mean other cars named Taurus will be successful. Ford seems to think otherwise, and has renamed its ugly Freestyle crossover Taurus X. Does this mean the Ford Mustang will become the Ford Taurus M? Or how about renaming the F150 the Taurus 150?
