New Ford Taurus - Finally, ads I like

[Boilers]

I am not a Ford fan. But I like these ads for the new Taurus. Gives me REASONS to buy one, not marketing crap.

That's kinda like bragging that the Taurus has a larger cup holder.
Or the Taurus can get twice the radio stations.

When the Taurus can run for ten years without ANY repairs (except for replacing tires), let me know.

Those are some top notch vids for Ford, Sold me.

Another reason - Ford didn't take any Federal bailout money.

Ford is the only one of the three I'll ever consider again.

Well since you asked: I had a 97 Taurus I bought in 98 while I was in high school. I put 110,000 miles of heavy abuse on that car in two years never had a problem, It's still driving around my area. I had a 96 Sable LS that I put 178,000 miles on the only major repair it needed was a .50 retainer clip broke in the transmission at 176,000 so it wouldn't go into over drive. I flipped it end over end and rolled it over twice before it landed on it's wheels. I walked away without a scratch and didn't have my seat belt on. THe passenger also not a scratch he had his seat belt on. I had it hauled to my house so I could part it out, reset the fuel shut off switch and it fired right up.

I now have a 2008 Nissan Altima I bought brand new at 15,000 miles the transmission went out, after a week of having the new trany it puked trans fluid all over my driveway, now it's leaking antifreeze and they can't find it. It also rattles in the dash board and the headliner has fallen down once already.

I think I will go back to Fords since Dodge is a sell out and I never liked GM to begin with.

I'll give em an extra feather in their cap for that over the other two for sure. These commercials are a good start, but I still want to see something more substantial where the safety and maintenance ratings are concerned. Good start though.

True. And Ford did surpass Toyota in quality rating, IIRC.

Never owned an Acura. Now Hondas, I've had experience with. All good.
Your milage may vary... mine never did!

Actually, I was wrong. They tied Toyota and BEAT HONDA!!!!

All the Fords (or Mercurys) I've ever owned have been good cars; '71 Mustang, '87 LN7, '86 Crown Vic, '88 Grand Marquis, and '95 Grand Marquis. Only 5. Not much of a sample. Just my personal experience.
