By Kevin Miller 11.08.2009 I was in Detroit earlier this year when the curtain was raised on the all-new 2010 Ford Taurus, and Ford rightfully made a big deal out of the Taurus introduction. It is a big nameplate in Ford’s lineup, as well as a big car in terms of the shadow it casts on the [...]

Forget the Tata Nano--the $2,500 car aimed at the developing world--or even the cheapest models in the U.S. market, the $9,970 Hyundai Accent and $9,990 Nissan Versa. If you're on a shoestring budget, a used car like the 1993 Ford Taurus might be the only option. Leave it to the sometimes-funny, always-ridiculous folks at The Onion to give the ..

The new Ford Taurus SHO is a pretty sweet ride, but the fellas at Mobsteel have gotten their hands on one and blacked it out, smoothed things over and slammed it to the ground. We're not sure about this one. Mobsteel took the SHO and added its trademark mobster style with custom front and rear fascias, black-out grille, restyled fender chrome (it's not a side vent, let's not pretend here) and rear...

As sales of the Ford Explorer decline, so does its lineup. In 2010, Ford will drop the Explorer Sport Trac and the Mercury Mountaineer SUV. This move will occur when Ford switches the Explorer from a body-on-frame to a unibody platform. Based on the D3 platform used on the new 2010 Ford Taurus, the unibody 2011 Ford Explorer will go into production in 2010 at the Torrence Avenue plant.
