I was invited to meet up with Mark Fields, Pres of Ford North America and check out the new 2010 Ford Taurus.

Getting in the Taurus, the first thing that came to mind was that this was an adult car, super comfortable seats, really nice interior. The second thing that struck me was that this car was, like the Ford Fiesta I’m driving, is not what most people would expect from Ford. It definitely has that European feel to it, it felt like you were sitting in a 700 Series BMW.

I’m not a car review writer, so I’m not able to describe the car as well as car writer would, but this is definitely one to consider if you’re looking for a step up from the regular sedan. Lots of room, really nice ride, advanced dashboard features, and those leg massagers were something i never expected.

I think Ford is doing some smart things here. ( Of course the smartest thing they’ve done is to make Gardenfork.tv part of their media plan )

Here’s a video Jill Hanner and I made of Jill driving the new Ford Taurus
