2008 Ford Taurus X

Pros: Power, safety ... it's all good

Cons: Could get better mileage but the better performace is the trade off

Summary: A couple of things ... I love CNET electronics reviews but when did they become car experts? Stick to the gizmos, please. This car has wonderful Volvo underpinnings and looks more like the Cadillac SRX to me.

The car received much more than a name change from Freestyle ...it received over 500 engineering improvements. And one of the reasons they went away from the CVT transmision and a larger engine was because of all the whiners that said the car was underpowered ... sheesh ... why can't anyone give a domestic a chance?

Taurus X is a great car. I love mine and the price for the features could not be beat. Quality is very good and the purchase expereince was great ... safest 7-passenger CUV on the road ... beat that, Toyota.
