Ford Taurus hit dealership lots running back in 1986. Since that time, this vehicle has become one of the best selling sedans in North America, and without a doubt one of Ford's staple cars.

That determination, along with great performance and comfort from Taurus, assisted the vehicle in winning a reward from JD Power & Associates.

JD Power rated the 2008 Ford Taurus "Best Used Car for the Money" - praising it for "long-term reliability."1

 

Taurus has been a family favorite to car buyers since it debuted in the late 1980's. The first popular vehicle to offer curved designs, Taurus…

A Look Back at the North River Edition of the Lincoln Continental
