Is it just me, or does the fusion club logo look somewhat anti-ford?

Haha, you're not the first one to say that. We've accepted a bunch of alternative designs a while back, but none really had the polish of that one. Eventually, we'll have to replace it though.

OK, back on topic

Aww, you beat me to it (I posted a link about this in the lounge)

I agree, lets replace it! (sorry, off topic again)

Big mistake IMO. The taurus was junk compared to the same level car in a Chevy or a Dodge and I even prefer Ford products.

 

[adaughen]

IMO, foolish idea. The Fusion is closer to being the Taurus than the Fivehundred.

I actually like the Fivehundred name. It sort of goes with the European naming of cars, if you say it out loud. Styling is meh, but look who it is aimed at. There is a guy down the street that has one. Big ol' 20's on it. It is done up nice though.

I liked the Taurus a lot... my father had them (Sables, actually) for a decade (and now has a Milan)... but its time is over. And as was said, the 500 isn't REALLY in the Taurus's class... it's considerably larger.

I had a Taurus before I bought my 3i. Not a bad car at all, did decent enough on gas mileage. Engine was bulletproof. Too bad the transmission wasn't..... :Owned:

My dad just got rid of a 2000 Taurus that had over 600k on the odometer, not one problem with it. That thing was a beast.

 

[mica3speedy]

changing the name of the 500 isn't going to solve the issue of it not selling well.

They needed something to put in the new Robocop movie

:lol:

 

[ENH729]

It looks like a giant fusion.

I had a 1994 Ford Taurus as my first car before I got my '3, and I actually miss some of its features - especially the extendable second sun visor (it was a plastic visor behind the regular visor, but you can have 180 degree protection from the sun).

I'm still pissed that Ford "killed" the taurus last year though.

 

[ShaleZoom3]

I think if they change the name it will increase sales somewhat. But not enough to save ford agian or the car.

But alot of people purhcase cars because of the name....it may attractive more of the older crowd.

 

[mica3speedy]

I can't help but feel that Ford has tainted the Taurus name by neglecting it previously

 

[ShaleZoom3]

yeah i see what you mean....but its in ford's history....can we say probe/mustang
