The
mid-size sedan and station wagon from Ford have new standard features, such as
power windows, power door locks and a tilting steering wheel.
Trim
levels encompass the LX, SE, SES and SEL models with Taurus SES spinning off a
new Sport version for the sedan and SEL piling on luxury gear including rear wood
plus leather for the shift knob and steering wheel. The Sport package brings two-tone
cloth fabric upholstery for seats and touches of pewter, and a floor-mounted shifter
stick.
Engines
include Ford's 3.0-liter Vulcan V6 for 155 hp and a dual-cam version worth 200
hp. An exceptional four-speed automatic transaxle mates with either plant.
