Talking World's Most Safest Car (This might surprise you)

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the all new 1985 Ford Taurus! According to the original commercial it's "America's most safest car"

Amazing! The Ford Taurus is dead. The Camry out lived the Taurus and so did the Accord...

"Most safest"? I thought you were posting a commercial with bad grammar, but instead it's just the title of the thread.

The Taurus isn't dead - they already brought it back by replacing the name "500" with Taurus on their new design.

That car is actually a significant piece of automotive history. One of the highest-impact cars on the industry in the history of automobiles. I remember they spent an unheard of amount of money developing it at the time and it was a huge sales hit. And yeah it actually was the safest car on the market at the time - the safest mid-sized car sold in the US was a title the Taurus held for many years occasionally taken away by Volvo and then given back again...

Just to end the Taurus debate... it appears that we are still in the

" MOST SAFEST" Era although now its named the

"Safest Full size car in America."
