After a brief hiatus from the automobile market, Ford Motor Company has brought back its old pal from the 1980s, the Ford Taurus. The new 2010 Taurus and Taurus SHO were introduced yesterday, and according to TheCarConnection, they are more than just near-luxury sedans.
The updated Taurus was rated the top safety pick - making it a great car for anyone and everyone - particularly families. The safety rating will definitely help cut down on the number of personal injuries sustained as a result of car accidents.
Some of the Taurus’ exceptional safety features include:
- Post-crash alert system
- Automatically unlocking all doors when airbags deploy
- Hazard lights automatically turn on
- The horn automatically sounds
- Optional rearview camera
- Optional blind-spot and cross-traffic alert system
The Taurus is a well-known car name, and Ford is hoping it will help keep the company highly regarded by consumers - they already have an edge since they are the only one of the Detroit ‘Big Three’ that didn’t declare bankruptcy.
