It's FWD.

Just as, if not thirstier than a Falcon.

Cramped interior for a car of it's size.

I don't see how it will work either, it's a stupid car but one thing to consider is that the Taurus in its current massive, heavy FWD form isn't the car that MAY come here. If this plan eventuates (IF), then the next-gen Taurus will be something else.

What the future Toreass will be, I don't know, but I do know that the next gen Fusion and Mondeo are now locked into one platform for US release in 2013 and in Europe and Australia a little later and that that platform is called CD391. This platform may not even come with a V6 option which (if rumour is correct and the future Taurus is going to be a LWB version of that) will create an obvious issue for Taurus AND Falcon buyers...
