Spy Shots: 2010 Ford Taurus - Now with undisguised interior!

Filed under: Spy Photos, Sedans/Saloons, Ford

Click either image for a high-res gallery of 2010 Ford Taurus spy shots

Late last week we clued you in to some spy shots of the 2010 Ford Taurus, and now that more mules are circulating frigid greater Detroit, we've got a whole set of even more revealing snaps. These KGP photos of a different prototype shed even more light on the Blue Oval's pivotal new sedan, including the first undisguised shot of the all-new interior.

Beyond the obvious jelly-bean camouflage, it should be noted that these up-close images reveal that Ford's anti-spyshot posse has done a commendable job of altering the shape of the light clusters with tape, particularly in the tail lamp area. We particularly like the nod to the new Nissan 370Z headlamp shape up front.

The big news, however, is inside where we see the Taurus taking a decidedly upscale tack thanks to premium-look materials and a twin cowl dashboard design. Notable highlights on this prototype include dual-zone HVAC controls, oversized chrome-ringed air vents (which should help cut down on fan noise), a Sony branded stereo system and a substantial looking gearshift selector. Be sure to click on the gallery below for the high-res experience of Ford's next Taurus.

Hyundai Elantra: Best Car for the Money Award
The 2009 Elantra from Hyundai is one of the customers’ favorites because of its low price and great fuel efficiency. Aside from its spacious cabin, it offers pleasing cargo capacity and expansive passenger space. The simple elegant interior is no inferior than those of the Toyota Corolla plus it gets great gas mileage from its base engine. The Elantra is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that teams with a 5-speed manual transmission or an optional 4-speed automatic. So if you are looking for an affordable and fuel efficient sedan, the Elantra is one good choice.

Mercedes-Benz S600: Luxurious Standard

As the saying goes, they’ve put everything in this car but the kitchen sink. There is a short list of the most wanted luxury cars in the world and this Mercedes-Benz S600 is on that list. This car is an amalgamation of power, luxury, and technology. One side of the three-pointed star is the huge V12 engine, developing 510 horsepower and goes from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds. Not bad for a two-ton 5-seater. A new COMAND system controls the audio, climate, and navigation system, all within line of sight. A night camera will let you see objects from 500 feet away. Huge 18 inch wheels let the car hug the road and the Active Body Control adjusts the car’s attitude and balance on the go. An iPod integration system plus the Harman/Kardon digital surround system makes sure you don’t miss out on your favorite tunes on the go. $152,000+.
