That new Taurus is not the 1st/2nd Generation 1986-1995 Taurus. (New one is based off the Volvo S80 car, modified going forward to today, a late 90's design, back when Ford bought Volvo.) I was just thinking what would happen if you could keep tweaking and evolving the original Ford Taurus, keep it around for consumers, get the 30 years experience with it. ... I guess with unlimited tax money, why not buy a fleet of the most expensive police Explorers/Chargers/Caprices around? Why not? Just tax people more, e-z. $$$$$$$
