Re: 2009 Ford Taurus X Cancelled, Official Cancellation Notice! [forddad90]

Good Post! Like the Freestyle, Ford should extend huge factory to dealer cash to clear the remaining 08s and new 09s. Additionally, I would guess that Ford would offer some great fleet prices for this car. The wholesale price for this car should continue to fall! Bottom line: Do not buy this car, yet! Read More...

Does anyone know if the Taurus and TaurusX will survive to see Ecoboost (small direct injected 4-cylinder with twin turbos, maybe 1.9L or so)? I've seen a couple of articles which came out within the past week stating that you will not. Nothing is official yet, but it seems the TX and the Mercury Sable are getting the axe after the 2009 MY. If they do survive another ... Read More...

I'm also a big fan of the Taurus X, and bought a T-X Limited two months ago. I also looked a lot at the Flex but just didn't like the square look of it. My nickname for the Flex is the maxi-mini. It looks like Ford may continue the T-X for another year into 2009, since the plant is making Taurus Sedans anyway, the production is done, and there's minimal cost in keeping it ... Read More...

Re: Territory has similar styling [raezmom3]

No official word at all about the fate of the Taurus X. It's more the absence of word. When you hear all the official talk about the terrific new Taurus sedan design coming, you hear nothing about a new Taurus X design in the works. Also, the sales numbers are miserable, only around 3000 per month, which is hard to understand for a car with everything going for it. It ... Read More...

SO if you want a similar vehicle that is up to date, I'd suggest the Ford Flex (it's similar sized and comes to the market soon). Similar sized but not similar price. 2009 Ford Flex order guide 2009 Ford Flex price guide It seems to have a lot standard which follows Ford's recent announcement that they will be packaging trim levels similar to the Asian mfrs.

I am overseas and I am about to buy one so that when I arrive it will be there for me. But now I am having second thoughts about it. I haven't driven one but my brother works at a ford dealer and says everyone really likes them. I need the room and it has great ratings. I just don't understand it just came out!! Read More...

No more Freestyle / Taurus X after 2009?

Written by: coolmazda5 on Feb 20, 2008 05:35 PM

I've seen many around my area so I was surprised. Not very appealing but very practical and roomy. Oh well, those Ford SUVs may be gaining terrain again. http://jalopnik.com/357692/goodbye-dave-taurus-x-to-say-farewell-by-2010 http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/19/rumormill-ford-taurus-x-cancelled-after-my-20- 09/ Read More...

About Flex: the interior looks same as TX. The second row moves same as TX, even seat same.The space behind third row looks same as TX. I see where you're coming from now. The seats, floor and some other smaller details are very similar. I thought you were talking about the dash and other more obvious things like the insides of the doors, because they are very different. ... Read More...

And it can't be all about looks either. Ford has to include some of the features from the concept, like the turbo 4 and six. Take this with a grain of salt right now, but the info I've read on a Ford forum is that the next Explorer, which will be unibody, is slated for production in Summer 2009 as a 2010 model. Right about the same time a new Taurus is due on a new version of ... Read More...
