Ford Taurus
In the mid-’80s, Ford caused a revolution by introducing the Taurus model. This was the first truly modern American sedan that ditched heavy ladder-type chassis and big engines and went in a different direction with a sleek and aerodynamic body, new technology, and front wheel drive. The Taurus sold in volumes and even featured the performance SHO version. The Taurus is still sold but will soon be discontinued with the rest of Ford’s sedan offerings.
