Ford has priced the 2010 Taurus to compete directly with cars including the Toyota Avalon, the Chrysler 300, and the Chevrolet Impala, all of which start between roughly $25,000 and $28,000. The new Taurus SE starts the bidding at $25,995; move up to the Taurus SEL and you’re looking at $27,995, while the Taurus Limited will set you back at least $31,995. Those with a hankering for the SHO treatment will be required to shell out at least $37,995, though our well-equipped SHO tester registered a cool $45,175. The navigation system goes for $1,695-$1,995, and the SHO’s performance package is priced at $995.
