Hmmmm.... okay, I just read the Edmunds review. Maybe I should probably get over my 1990-era prejudice against Taurii!
Quite possibly if I'd had the car longer I would have been more impressed (e.g., if I'd had luggage, or managed to figure out how to use the electronics). I'll give it a fair shot next time. But I admit I'm still struggling to imagine choosing it over a 3-series (unless I had a bunch of luggage and/or passengers).
(And.. yes, I'd take almost anything over a Grand Marquis, including a Hyundai compact).
