I don't know where you guys get ur information but the Taurus isn't coming out till 2009, the body style doesn't even resemble the current model and is much sleeker and it will, from the drawing I saw of this car can win the car of the year, as far as a rear wheel drive, I have never heard of it but can find out if it's even being discussed, how I know all this is we make the trans for the car and I get all kinds of info from my engineers who have access to the drawings, this car will turn heads
