looks really good, So here are the cars that i wouldn't mind having with Ford right now.
1- Edge 2- Taurus X( just bc used ones are dirt cheap) 3- Slowly growing on Flex. 4- New 2010 Taurus, just bc i do lot of highway driving. still have to wait and see what the real focus and fiesta look like. I wouldnt mind having a downtown car.

I didn't even thing the 2010 Taurus would be redesigned although I was looking at the new 2010 Lincoln lineup so I should have saw this coming. And damn... I like the current Taurus and this new model is 20x better! My next car is definitely going to be either a Fusion or Taurus.

My next car is definitely going to be either a Fusion or Taurus. x2 on the Lincoln thing -- although I must admit as much as I'm trying to like the new Lincolns, Ford of Canada is doing everything they can to turn me off with their fawked up ad campaigns ... like the Major Tom TV spot - fawk I hate that. And their lame-ass bogus wanna-be viral videos on the lincolncanada.com website ... sorry, major fail IMO (I'm seriously embarrased for them) and I would think I'm in the heart of their target market demographically. Back OT - I like the new Taurus (still wish it was a Mondeo) and I would think that with the Duratec37 and the Ecoboost engines they've already got coming a SHO version wouldn't be too expensive to engineer. If I'm in the market next year (and I might be with the lease on my wagon coming due) right now I'd say the Fusion Sport is at the top of my Ford list.

Actually looking at the 2010 Taurus again, it looks like the new Mazda 6, but that's on the Fusion platform isn't it?

Yeah, I see a lot of Fusion / Mazda6 cues going on there but the Taurus is larger than the Fusion (or at least it was, and should still be).
I was in a 2008 the other day (one of the Stockfish service shuttle vehicles). I'm SO glad I'm not in that demographic yet! :P It just kinda felt like a new taxi. No soul, no engine note. At least you can get it with AWD :P

If Ford is serious about this crap, then all the offerings should be "world cars" with basic name changes for better familiarity with the target markets.
An Escape here is a Maverick over there - there are very few differences.
