Last fall (August) they stopped making the old style Taurus/Sable at the Atlanta plant and shut the plant down. When the displayed the redesigned 500/Milan/Freestyle later that fall, they realized there was no brand recognition with the 500 or Freestyle name. So they made the decision that this summer when the redesigned 500/Freestyle were released, they would carry the names "Taurus" and "Taurus X" (for Cross-Over). What's your take on the 'new' Taurus? I never drove the 500/Milan in all of my rentals but wanted to to see what Ford was like with their latest offerings.
