Anyone shopping the non-luxury family sedan market realizes that there are choices aplenty. With a price ranging from the mid $20,000s to the mid $30,000s, the 2008 Ford Taurus can count the majority of those choices as competition. They include well-established names like Toyota Avalon, Nissan Maxima, Chevrolet Impala, and Chrysler 300. Newer players, such as Hyundai’s Azera and Dodge’s Charger, are attracting buyers, too, and Honda has recently launched the larger and more powerful 2008 Accord. Considering the pros and cons of these trusted four-doors, the V-6-powered 2008 Ford Taurus, with available all-wheel drive, appears to fall smack dab in the middle of the pack.
