CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia -- "It's as revolutionary as Windows 95," explained Stephen Kozak, a safety manager at Ford Motor Co., speaking about the blue oval logo's new Personal Safety System, pioneered in the upgraded 2000 Ford Taurus.
We were on a Virginia countryside ride and drive that included a stop at the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, where Taurus has received high marks in the institute's crash testing. In fact, Ford boasts the new Taurus has the highest level of crash protection ever offered in a vehicle at this price.
In addition to safety upgrades, the Dearborn, Mich.-based manufacturer's most popular car gets a thorough remake for the 2000 model-year, wearing more than 900 new parts that bring improved quality and comfort. Most important, though, might be the new parts that give it a new look -- a look that Ford hopes will bring the family hauler back to the top of the sales charts.
