abanner Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Interesting information, ice-capades. So, it does appear Ford will introduce the redesigned Taurus in the US? There were rumors the new car made in China would never make it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Interesting information, ice-capades. So, it does appear Ford will introduce the redesigned Taurus in the US? There were rumors the new car made in China would never make it here. The 2018 is the current model, not the new Chinese CD4 Taurus. Note that 2017 production stops one day and 2018 starts the next. There won't be many (if any) changes between the 2017 and 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
630land Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It does not appear to be the re-design, since there was no announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abanner Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Other than a minor refresh in 2013, the car hasn't changed even a bolt. Guess they will keep it going 'as is' since they will continue building the police version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 D3 mafia. Members will discuss buying used vehicles, especially old police cruisers and chastise Ford for not continuing to make them even though they have no intention of buying a new one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

630land Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 IL State Police have tons of Taurus PI's for highway patrol. Though the Explorer is more common for urban/suburban departments. Unmarked Tauruses do blend in more than the Vic's, since they look like many Asian sedans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 The 2018MY Taurus USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) is due to open on 07/18/2017. The 2018 Taurus Order Guide will be uploaded to the Order Guide Section as soon as it is released to Dealers. It's usually available on or about the day that the USOB opens but there are sometimes delays if Ford is still finalizing the ordering specifications, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdegrand Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 So, is the Taurus officially done in North America next year...like the C-Max? If so, I assume we lose all the police car business ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So, is the Taurus officially done in North America next year...like the C-Max? If so, I assume we lose all the police car business ! Ford sells more Explorers to Police than Taurus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Theyre also trying to move the police sedan business to the new PI Fusion hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
