Maybe the 500 isn't it ... but if you were to put another dynamic, good looking and good handling car under the Taurus nameplate, we would all quickly forget the "dark ages" of Taurusdom -- and all you have to do is think of the iterations of Mustang over the years and yet think of how valuable and positive the name remains, to see how that can work.

Well, you do have a point, I mean the Mustang nameplate survived that horrific thing that was the Mustang II ('74-'78) a car that had so much wrong with it, not even shoving a V8 in it later in its run made Mustang fans happy (and why you almost never see them at carshows, in fact I nearly fainted seeing two of them one day at the Mapleview Mall show & shine last year)

We shall see I suppose...
