That V8 engine is actually not a very good one, the V6 before it was far superior.

Never understood what the big deal is with those Taurus. Who gives a shit if it has V8 when it looks so ugly? Would you really roll in that? Be happy with some sleeper status? Dafuq? All I can think of when I sit in that car with such an ugly interior is how I would want to slit my fucking wrist.
It's like a woman who's intelligent but ugly. Would you date Janet Yellen?

Lol. I would never rock one (However the previous generation taurus' I totally wouldn't mind) but I love that these cars still exist. It's awesome to see weird 90's perforance cars like that supercharged buick a few members have on here and cars like Mazda Millenia S's around in immaculate shape.

Find a manual one, non turbo. They hold up better. Interior trim paint wears out easily, but otherwise the interiors are pretty solid.
