Q: It’s gorgeous!
A: Yes indeed. The grille is aggressive, the lines are taut, the stance is tall and the entire thing is distinct from virtually any angle. Compared to the last-generation Taurus, the new one has more cosmetic upgrades than an episode of Desperate Housewives.

As tested, the loaded tester’s price-tag hovered around the $50,000 mark.

Q: Any complaints?
A: The driver-side footwell feels a bit cramped, the trunk lid lacks both a pull-handle and an external release, and the radar-guided cruise control often signs off when it's foggy outside. The automatic high-beams performed inconsistently on my watch too—so they were left off.

Q: How much?
A: As tested, the loaded tester’s price-tag hovered around the $50,000 mark. Not for everyone’s wallet, but a lot of bang for the buck in terms of performance and technology nonetheless.
