31: Ford Taurus
When the Ford Taurus was relaunched Ford touted the rebirth of a “legend”. But the car is far from being a legend and the design is quite dated. The Taurus was supposed to put Ford back into a competitive position in the passenger car market. But the company just didn’t stick with the updates and the sedan was outpaced by its rivals again. Ford would leave the design the same for almost 10 years while Honda and Toyota both had multiple redesigns. The domestic automakers try to just rest on the same design but all this does is create a lack of interest in the product.
Most people aren’t thinking of buying a Taurus when it comes to a family sedan. Even the performance SHO version of the Taurus didn’t receive as much excitement as Ford had hoped for. This is sad because the SHO is one of the most iconic sedans to ever roll out of a Ford showroom. Nevertheless, the Taurus remains an overhyped piece of the recent automotive industry.
