Ford is bringing back the Taurus! ! ! Yay! Ford recently unveiled the 2008 Ford Five Hundred Sedan at the 2006 Detroit Automobile Show, and with a recent announcement, the 2008 500 will be renamed and become less of a luxury car. The Taurus is back, and did not miss 1 model year (last yeas being 2007, and then its coming back for 2008). However, I feel it was a bad move. As much as it is a good thing to bring the Taurus back, I think it should have been put on the Fusion, not the 500 luxury sedan. Still, if Ford does it right, adds a SHO model again, a station wagon option and lowers the high price, it could very well be a success. The 500's Mercury twin, the Montego, will also be badged as a Sable.

Here is the 2008 Five Hundred:
