2008 Ford Taurus X SLT 25

If you've never heard of a Taurus X before, it's only because this is a new name for an existing product, the crossover SUV that used to be called the Ford Freestyle. However, this 2008 Ford Taurus X offers a host of improvements inside, outside and underneath when compared to the old Freestyle. So it's ready to compete in the hotly contested crossover segment with a whole bunch of new arrows in its quiver. Like the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable sedans, the Taurus X is loosely based on the same architecture as the Volvo XC90 SUV and it uses the same Swedish Haldex all-wheel-drive system as the Volvo on this AWD version. The prior year's 3.0-liter V6 engine has been dropped in favor of a new, 3.5-liter, 24-valve V6 that makes a full 30 percent more horsepower and more load-pulling torque. Likewise, 07's continuously variable transmission has been replaced by a new 6F six-speed automatic. Taurus X is a solid crossover SUV, it's practical and it's affordable. Its a really good long-distance traveler as well as an around-town family hauler. Overall, it's very comfortable, easy to use and get familiar with, and very flexible in terms of its interior layout, space utilization. Print this out and come take this one for a test drive!
