Mar 20th 2008 3:03PM I suppose I should have clarified, the Sedan, not this newer sportback. All the pictures that I can find of the Sedan don't show the trunk open.

When at the Edmonton car show I was checking out the EvoX and fell in love instantly. It, however, is a bit beyond my price range and the upcoming Ralliart looks to be a winner.
I did however notice one massive issue:
In the EvoX they didn't have room in the front for the battery and washerfluid so they put in the back directly behind the rear seats thus removing the ability to fold them down ALSO shrinking the trunk space significantly.
Can nyone who knows or seen the Ralliart version can tell me if it has the same issue?

Apr 9th 2007 1:08PM Bah. US Cars suck (i drive one), why review and complain about what we already know? We drive uninspired junk and we know it. Though an episode comparing the Cobalt SS, Mazdaspeed 3, Calibre SRT4 would be pretty cool.
Future Classic: Ford Taurus {Autoblog}
Jan 22nd 2007 1:19PM While ditching the name might seem like a bad idea, when the above article points out things like "brutal resale", "found everywhere" I believe this is what Ford is trying to remove. Reinvent themselves. Would a new Taurus design really capture the imagination of the general populous? It would make it onto peoples "lists" when shoping just as it did before, but maybe the fact that its "just a Taurus" is a reason why Ford has been steadily declining in sales.
Camry, Accord, etc are all names of quality, they have a history of quality, not something that the Taurus really had. Maybe the Fusion is the rebirth? In the end its just a Ford though, a name that I don't even add to my "short list" these days.
