Cars.com Reviews the 2008 Ford Taurus

Last week we got senior editor Joe Wiesenfelder’s take on the newly renamed Taurus X crossover. This week, Kelsey Mays delivers his report on the Taurus. The tried and true name is just one of the updates to what once was the Ford Five Hundred. Besides the new-fangled three-bar grille, the Taurus gets an upgraded engine and transmission. See the full review to see if the car lives up to its historic name.

I rented this car with only 4000 miles this past weekend to go to Montreal and I only manage to 16.5 mpg all highway. I must say it was comfortable but the gas milega is pathetic, I would expect it from a suv not a car.

Is anyone else having trouble with the links? Last week I tried to access the first Taurus review; nothing came up. Same situation here. Also, the cars.com website will not load. What gives?
