wow, I guess they dont want to compete with the lower end models of Taurus and Lacrosse. That is pretty steep for a base price.

The Taurus is a rental car and a LaCrosse is for nothing but old men. The Avalon is priced higher because people are willing to pay more.

I can't believe this car is still being produced. I live in a large metro area, and I haven't seen one of them in years.

The current Taurus is not reliant on fleet sales like the old one. It and the Lacrosse are outselling the Avalon by large margins. Ford sold over 7k Taurus' last month. I don't know if any of the models I've seen on the roads are rentals. They have totally repositioned the car as a large semi luxury model- not a rental queen.
