Ford Taurus 
Ford’s full-size sedan got a shot in the arm with its last overhaul. Thanks to its size, it attracts former fans of the Crown Victoria. The Limited and SHO variants get factory-standard AWD (optional on the SEL). A 365-hp 3.5L EcoBoost sits under the hood of the sporty SHO. It’s now safe to say that the Taurus has a personality of its own!
