Ford Taurus X
Last year, the Taurus X replaced the very anonymous looking Ford Freestyle and became the new Taurus family's crossover vehicle. Nonetheless, this is a rather youthful looking vehicle, redesigned with the series' new grille and other aesthetic artifices found on such products. It is powered by a 263 horsepower 3.5-litre V6 engine linked to a six-speed automatic transmission. Both available versions are offered with either a front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
