What Changed
The Taurus wears all new styling inside and out for 2010. Highlights of the new styling are the large domed hood, angular c-pillar and chiseled lines on the profile. Although the platform carried over, the Taurus gained about an inch in length and width. The base 3.5L V6 under the hood still produces 263-bhp. The performance-oriented SHO model returns for 2010. The SHO has a turbocharged 3.5L V6 and AWD.
