I AM PROPHETIC!

But that wasn't my point. You expect recalls on a carmaker's pedestrian vehicles. You expect recalls on a Taurus. (excuse me, a Five Hundred) But your Halo car? The car that you make to end all cars? The car that people are supposed to think of when they hear your name...

Please, :roll: you are bashing a company that you don't really seem to know anything about, just jumping on a bandwagon. The 500 is not the tarus replacement, Ford is still making the Tarus. Like it was pointed out above...

Ok, now that exchange was over 2 years ago, (Click here) and I'm not bringing this up to fight with Chad or anything, I'd just like to point out that I totally called it, two years go.

Ford Five Hundred to become 'Taurus'

2 years ago, that was correct, since Ford was making BOTH cars, how can one replace the other when BOTH exist??! Hu? Hu? Ford is just retarded at this point.

Oh and from that article, the Taurus is the replacement for the 500, not the other way around

I know, I know, I just think it's really funny, that's all.

It just blows my mind how the brains at ford think this is such a good idea. They will waste SO much $$$ repromoting the 500 rather than actually _improving_ the car.

Rex, unless you were searching for something different and stumbled upon that, i have to ask....how the hell did you remember that?

[Sijray21]

big whoop....

I totally remembered it (I'm a freak) but I thought it was a discussion with Adam, not Chad.

So whats wrong with the 500 as it sits?

[Feersty]

So whats wrong with the 500 as it sits?

Obviously its lack of a recognizable name.

[HAULN-SS]

I kinda like numbered names

[white_2kgt]

So whats wrong with the 500 as it sits?

The name, nothing, the car, it's a boring pile of crap, much like the Taurus, so I guess the name fits :lol:

Basically I think ford decided there were enough people out there asking for a new 'Taurus' at trade in time and not understanding it is no longer being produced they decided give another car the name so the salesmen can say, well here it is, welcome to boredom.

[BLINGMW]

Ford is f'in retarded. :roll: The name is so cool they made it a truck too?

The Taurus X:



I has a Taurus.

I has one too, it has a X.

Is more fasterer?

More luxury..er a fied?

No it's a truck.

Ohhh! That makes a lot of sense!

[ScottyB]

yikes!

just when you think they hit bottom, somebody throws them a shovel....

[CaptainHenreh]

They should have called it the Taurus Outback Sport.

[BLINGMW]

They should have called it the Taurus Outback Sport.

:lol:

If they're so convinced renaming something boosts sales, why not just change the company name to Taurus! "Ford" obviously isn't working that well for them lately. Then their other cars can be Taurus Y, Taurus Z, maybe the Mustang would be the Taurus M? :mrgreen:

[HAULN-SS]
