You can put shit in a box and put a warranty on it, but it's still shit in a box. (http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070207/BUSINESS01/702070382/1014)
And their not stopping there. (http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070207/BUSINESS01/70207011/1014)
Acknowledging Ford should have kept the Taurus name, Mark Fields, Ford Motor Co.’s president of the Americas, said this morning that the 2008 model of the Five Hundred will be called the Taurus.
Likewise, the Freestyle wagon will be called the Taurus X and the Mercury Montego will get the name Sable, as the Mercury version of the previous Taurus was known.
So, it's a start I guess. I'm not sure rebranding the 500 to the Taurus really means Malloy gets it. It just means he has sense enough to ask why they got rid of the name altogether. But let's be real. Not using the name didn't kill the Taurus, that piece of shit model prior to the 500 is what killed the Taurus.
