Ford Taurus
The Taurus has come out with a new colour palette for 2015. Its look has evolved over the years, as has its engine, which is now an Ecoboost. If the SHO and its 365-hp V6 don’t fit your budget, you can opt for the basic SE with FWD and a four-cylinder turbocharged engine. There’s a naturally-aspirated V6 that can be combined with all-wheel drive nestled between these two engines in the lineup.
