I'm willing to bet that most here don't even know what this is. Which clearly shows this vehicles problem.

Gee, changing the name to a car that was a disaster in every sense didn't help sales. I can't believe it. I do see these around however. Perhaps if they retitled it the tempo.

wow . . . that was fast. lol

speedflex

I thought it was already dead.

Slapping an old name on not one, but two underselling vehicles is laughable. Realizing the company using said pathetic strategy is the healthiest of the Big 3 - Hilarious.

This is the first I've had heard of this car and first time I have even lay my eyes on one visually lol.

I preferred the Five Hundred name. It sounded more contemporary.

To me, Taurus brings back images of company cars and rental fleets.

Not a bad car/wagon IMO, just no identity. The reviews on them were were OK.

Lol...this is sadly the first time I have heard of the Taurus X...

muhbuhtuh

lol i never heard of the taurus x until now either. it looks like an explorer kinda

nabbun

it's supposed to replace the explorer

speedflex

It was originally called the Freestyle which was more a wagon, like the old Subaru Forester. Thinking that name recognition would jump start sales, Ford later stuck the Taurus name on it. It was in between the Escape and the Explorer in the line up.
