You take care of your car, your car will take care of you. Very true!
FYI,以下是Wikipedia对Taurus的简介.
The Ford Taurus is an automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company in
the United States. Originally introduced in the 1986 model year, it has
remained in near-continuous production for more than two decades, making it
the fourth oldest nameplate that is currently sold in the North American
Ford lineup.[1] It has had a more upscale Mercury branded version entitled
the Sable (1986–2005; 2008–2009), as well as a performance variant, the
Ford Taurus SHO (1989–1999 and 2010–); in addition, it served as the basis
for the first-ever front-wheel drive Lincoln Continental (1988–1994). It
was a front-wheel drive mid-size car until 1999, and has been a full-size
car since 2000, and available in front- or all-wheel drive since 2008. It
has been built on the D3 platform since 2008.
The original Taurus was a milestone design for Ford and the entire American
automotive industry, as well as a very influential vehicle that brought many
new features and innovations to the marketplace.[2] Since its launch in
1986, Ford had built 7,519,919 Tauruses through the 2007 model year,[3]
making it the fifth best selling North American nameplate in Ford's history;
only the F-150,[4] Escort,[5] Model T,[6] and Mustang[6] have sold more
units. Between 1992 and 1996, the Taurus was the best-selling car in the
United States,[7] eventually losing the title to the Toyota Camry in 1997.[8
] The 1986–1995 Taurus was built on the DN-5 platform, and the 1996-1999
Taurus was built on the DN101 platform. The 2000-2007 Tauruses were built on
the D186 which was a modified DN 101 platform.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, sales of the Taurus declined as it lost
market share to Japanese midsize sedans and as Ford shifted resources
towards developing SUVs. It was discontinued in 2006, with production
initially ending on October 27, 2006, and 2007 being the last model year.[9]
Ford had decided to replace the Taurus with the fullsize Five Hundred and
midsize Fusion sedans, as well as replacing the Taurus wagon with the
Freestyle crossover SUV. However, Ford revived the Taurus name during the
2007 Chicago Auto Show a few months later by renaming two new models that
had been intended to be updated versions of the Five Hundred and the
Freestyle, the "2008 Taurus" and "2008 Taurus X", respectively.[10][11] A
new model of Taurus was then released for the 2010 model year. This
generation is currently in production. The 2013 model was unveiled at the
New York Auto Show and will receive minor exterior changes, and interior
technology options.
