Not anymore. The new one is RWD.

Agreed. 5'11'. I have a 14, and like it very much. I am under 50 yrs old. I rides well, and the black leather interior is very well done, fits my family of 4 nicely. And the trunk holds 4 large suitcases, which is great for a trip to the airport. No other current sedan does that that I know of.

I love your sentiment expressed in the 2nd paragraph. I know too many people who will talk the talk, but then go buy a foreign product even when a competitive product Made in the USA is available.

we don’t really have a “free-trade” with china. China uses protective tariffs and currency manipulation to tilt the balance. If we actually had a free trade agreement with them, they’d actually have to give up alot to us, which would improve the US manufacturing sectors

It is a damn shame about the Taurus. It is quite capable in AWD Turbo Guise. The same as the flex. If only they offered the Taurus in station wagon form.
