Much of Ford's hope to revive its car lineup rests with the all-new Futura, which will eventually replace the Taurus as a midsize family car positioned between the Focus and the Five Hundred. Based on the C/D platform originally developed for the Mazda 6, the new Futura has sleek, European-inspired styling and will sport a multibar grille first seen on the Ford 427 concept car. While Ford has announced a hybrid version as a stablemate to the inline-4 and V6-powered sedans, we're holding out hope for the return of the spiritual successor of the SHO Taurus in th form of an SVT Futura. Such a model would likely sport a mesh grille and an aggressive aero kit like the SVT Focus.--MDL
