The 2010 Ford Taurus melds Mondeo exterior styling touches with a refined Flex-like interior. Outside, the Taurus eschews the Fusion's three-bar grille and sports lower fascia clearly inspired by the Mondeo. High-end wheels appear to be inspired by the base wheels on the Lincoln MKS, but otherwise, the two fullsize sedans won't be confused.
No longer does Ford's fullsize sedan have an Audi-like greenhouse design and, like the Focus, the Taurus now has side vents. These side vents, however, are more restrained and are arguably more effective. The interior design is clean and looks more upscale than before.
The Taurus may not be a volume seller like it was in the late 1980s, but it's still a significant car for Ford.

Last week, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse received an almost universally positive response.
"This is the first Buick car (not SUV) since the Grand National that may actually appeal to someone under 60," said wispartan1026.
Tortillarat wasn't as convinced by the LaCrosse's new styling: "Refreshing compared to the previous version. Revolting if it stands on its own."
Oregoncoaster liked the car but wants more: "Beautiful. Now, how about a 2-door Riviera coupe, styled even more radically and beautifully?"
