Car Facts 2001 FORD TAURUS Fun Facts

    The Ford Taurus is a mid-size, front wheel drive car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company in North America. It was introduced in December 1985 as a 1986 model, replacing the Fairmont-based, rear wheel drive Ford LTD. The car was given a cosmetic facelift in 1992 and a major redesign in 1996, followed by two design updates in 2000 and 2004. Throughout its lifetime, the Taurus has been available as both a 4-door sedan and 4-door station wagon. Production ended on October 27, 2006 after a long run, with 2007 being the last model year. The Taurus was ultimately replaced by three cars, each aimed at better covering the markets that the Taurus had competed in. The Ford Five Hundred, a large car; its crossover SUV version, the Ford Freestyle, to replace the Taurus Wagon; and the Ford Fusion, a midsize car closer in size to the Taurus.
        The Ford Taurus was the best-selling American car.
