We have a couple of big sedans . But I note that generally wherever I go, big 4 door sedans are getting pretty scarce. SUV's seem to be everywhere and alongside pickup trucks are the most popular type of vehicle out there....at least by my informal 'eye' survey.
I like a large sedan, but I can also see the advantages of an SUV over sedans...AWD/4WD...yawning big entry for awkward items through the rear hatch door(s.) I do know that you can get AWD on some sedans.
But many feel a SUV has more advantages over a sedan and I'm starting to agree with them.
That Ford has increased their production of SUV's over sedans...no surprise.
I like Ford's big sedan the Taurus, but I have to say that if it weren't for the police package Taurus, the Interceptor, I think Ford would be questioning continued production of this car, not because there's anything wrong with it (nothing wrong Ican see)...but that people are not buying cars like this much anymore.
One of our cars is similar to the Taurus...a GM version, a newer Impala...not the old body style, but the Opel designed Upsilon platform, Great car, has a lot of punch (305 hp/ 3.6 liter DOHC V6), handles well, brakes well, comfortable, roomy, etc...but nowadays it doesn't matter how good larger sedans are...either GM or Ford or others...people want SUV's and other body types.
I think their time has come and gone.
