I definatly think it is a sweet looking ride! Its definatly 100 times nicer than the taurus I rented 3 years ago to go to chicago in! Wished it had looked like that!! But to the question would I trade my car for it? Let me think? No I still think GM's redesign was better. And was that a car Dubs did or was that what it looks like from factory? Cause if DUBS made that care maybe it still looks like a grandma car cause thay can make some sick cars! Have they or dude from whips built or fixed up a new Camaro yet? Cause thay usually do good jobs and dont make them look silly! I personally think the camaros with anything bigger than 22's just aint going to look right! But that was nice ride!

That isn't stock, quite obviously. That was done by an aftermarket company, not Ford.

What GM redesign, specifically? And the wheels are aftermarket, but the rest of the car, at least exterior design, is at least very close to stock. Go look it up yourself. And the dubs that come stock on the Camaro are too big as it is.

I was actually just meaning new body style. And I agree on the 20's being as big as they should be. Im not a fan of super huge rims and tires. It kills me to see a car that looks like a SUV. But I am impressed with how nice they have made that car look. That little you tube vid. was 1st time I've saw one. Definatly alot nicer than the one I rented couple of years ago.

I predict the new ford Taurus will become the #1 family sedan by 2013. The Taurus, and Taurus SHO are going to be huge hits.

Just as Ford lost their way with the Taurus in the mid 1990s, so have Toyota and Honda lost their ways with Camrys and Accords. You pay a premium for bland styling and performance, in the interests of quality and fuel economy -- except the later 2 no longer apply.

GM needs more cars like the Malibu.

They're talking about Fords, wouldn't their first prediction have to be a ford...?
How do they not see that it says "FORD TAURUS"?!?!?
They'd prolly say the Camaro is a Lambo..

But what cracks me up most are the "What make is this car?" comments. Can none of them see the fracken' blue oval on the front of it?

if someone asked you what you drove, and you responded "A Taurus"..the next thought that passed through their mind would be that either you're an immigrant or you had a good salesman...

i know this, because if any American knows about cars, they should be smart enough to remember how much of a piece of crap the Taurus was and they would rather take the bus than drive such an evil car...

Recently the Taurus has sucked, but as someone else has already pointed out, there was a time when it was a decent ride. Looks like it may be recapturing some of that old success.

pretty nice.. but I will take my sedan over that.. That is more of a luxury feel, I like more of a sports feel.
