 ??? I kinda love it.

I really like the idea of a car like this - easy for the grandparents to lounge in the back, but with the 2.7L V6T with AWD to make me a happy boy.

The styling to me, at least, works better here than it does on the Fusion.  White interior, not so much, but look cushy!

This thing is 6" shorter than the current Taurus, but has a 4" longer wheelbase. Both moves in the right direction.

As long as they did something with the interior, it would be a very compelling vehicle. The current NA Taurus' interior; I don't know what the heck Ford did, but they've managed to make a large sedan just as roomy as a compact!

It's that ridiculously wide center console.
