Taurus is the popular mid-size sedan without the boredom factor.It's a bowl of chocolate-chip mint in a sea of plain vanilla.While most sedans in its class seem designed to blend into the scenery, the Taurus stands out like a wildebeest in plaid pajamas.Not only does the Taurus look like it came from the future, it drives like it came over from Europe, and with something double its really quite reasonable price tag.Two engines are available, and both deliver a vigorous response.Taurus rides smoothly enough for family duty, but with crisp and sporty handling that would satisfy an aspiring Formula 1 driver.Not only that, but the cabin is functional and attractive, with controls that are straightforward and easy to use.The materials, switchgear and interior textures have a high-quality look and feel.
