You know if you think about it now I wonder if Ford will bring out a Taurus Wagon in the 500 stylings, and a Taurus X in a sedan design.
Oh and after watching CBS News tonight with Katie, they just did a storie on the new Taurus, and Taurus X, and it's not just Ford looking back in the past for brand loyalty & fimiliarity with a Name plate or person, Maytag will be soon airing commercials with their old sad lonely repair guy again after a 10 year absence, not to mention a few other companys.
I'm suprised that no one will openly admit that they would buy a car on the nameplate alone because they are fimiliar with it, and that's what Ford is banking on, that people who love the name will love the 500/freestyle more with the safe & comfortable Taurus name, and hopefully it will pay off for Ford in the long term and save the company again.
