Taurus To Return!...(At Least in Name)


For over twenty years, the Ford Taurus was an automotive icon. Actually, it was more than that...the Taurus was an American icon, and it will likely be again! Word on the street, confirmed by The Associated Press, is that Ford is planning on renaming the Ford Five-Hundred as the Ford Taurus and making the announcement as early as this week at the Chicago Auto Show.

With its introduction back in 1985, the Taurus put the automotive industry off its axis and never looked back, becoming the best selling car in America in 1992, a title Taurus held for five years, and changing the shape and style of cars forever.

With a style revamping set for the 2008 model year, now is the best time to rename the Ford Five-Hundred, and the new legacy filled "tag" (if it happens) should boost sluggish sales and increase awareness of a really great car that's getting even better, no matter what Ford calls it!
