It’s not your grandpa’s car anymore: The redesigned Ford Taurus is now cool to drive again! The base level Taurus costs just a shade over 25 grand, making this car right for everyone. Powered by a 3.5 liter V6 and a six-speed automatic transmission, it gets up to 28 MPG on the highway; Pretty incredible savings for a roomy sedan that bolts down the road like a race car. If you’re shopping for Ford dealerships in Houston, residents will tell you Russell & Smith has the best selection of new Ford Taurus Houston and used Ford Taurus Houston drivers can find.

Sliding up the price scale to the SEL and Limited versions adds quite a bit to the plushness of the interior. Costing about five thousand more than the SE, these models allow drivers to enjoy hand-stitched leather seats, enjoy the thrill of race inspired paddle shifters and tune in to SIRIUS satellite radio.

Also included in the upgraded models are backup sensors, a rear facing bumper camera and indirect cockpit illumination. For the tech-savvy drivers Ford’s exclusive SYNC with voice-activated communications and entertainment system.

The SHO’s 3.5 liter EcoBoost motor can keep up with any car on the road and yet get 25 miles per gallon. A true dual exhaust system helps the SHO breathe and the enhanced all-wheel drive system delivers safe driving in any extremes. This Taurus comes equipped with a sport tuned suspension and aerodynamics package that makes this car ride like a dream. All that high speed cornering should not be scary at night. The SHO comes standard with High-Intensity Discharge headlights that keep the road [in view even in nasty weather|turn the blackest night into virtual daylight].

No longer a grandma car, the new 2011 Ford Taurus combines great value with the look, feel and fun of a muscle car.
