CNET have published a review of the 2008 Ford Taurus X wagon. Ford likes the Taurus name so much that it used it on both a sedan and its new six-passenger crossover, the 2008 Ford Taurus X. In many ways, the Taurus X is a much more sensible car than a massive SUV. It's more maneuverable, gets plenty of power from its 3.6-liter V-6, and its lower height makes access easier. And its fold-down seats mimic the utility of a minivan.
But the Taurus X also qualifies as the new king of ugly on the road. Forget Azteks and Elements, the Taurus X brings in a 1980s wagon aesthetic to clinch the new title. Our test car had the Eddie Bauer trim, giving the body a two-tone treatment, which made the look even worse. The car has completely unnecessary big wheel arches that get unfortunately accentuated with the Eddie Bauer paint job. The C pillar sticks out from the rear doors, making the cargo area look like it was put on as an afterthought. The nose of the Taurus X is poorly proportioned to the rest of the car, being too long and low. Then there are the big vents under the front bumper that look like they were supposed to be covered with a mesh, but Ford ran out of money for materials.
