From page 25

‘Though the new Taurus looks
smaller than the previous model, it is
actually 127 mm (5.4 in.) longer and
351 mm (2 in.) wider. A larger

*greenhouse’ and a longer wheelbase
contributes to a 179% increase in
interior room. -

* The interior too has a new look
which imitates the exterior theme.
The cabin is dominated by a black,
oval-shaped control panel in the cen-
tre dash area that houses all the
major stereo, heating/air-condition-
ing controls. All of the controls, with
the exception of the radio volume
control, are large push-buttons with
easy-to-read white lettering.

:+ Another new interior feature is a
centre arm rest that can convert to a

entre seatback or be folded for-
wards to reveal a‘ tiered arrangement
of different-sized cupholders. cas-
sette slots, coin holders, and space
for an optional cellular phone. |

NORTE VANCOUVER SUZUKI.

The standard powertrain, avail-
able on the GL, is an improved ver-
siunt of fast year’s 3.0-litre OHV V6
engine. {thas 145 horsepower (up
from 140) and is coupled with a
standard four-speed automatic trans-
mission,

I've tried both these engines and
would recommend the base engine
for most driving needs. The optional
200 horsepower engine has more
performance than most people need.

Perhaps the most significant

change to the new Taurus in terms of

everyday driving is its stiffer, quicier
body and revised suspension which
contributes to a quieter ride and the
Taurus is a very cornfortable, quict
car for city or highway driving
needs.

The 1996 Tavrus GL, which
comes as a four-dgpr, sedan or four-
door wagon, starts al, $22,195 (up
from $20,695), Standard equipment
includes a V6 engine, four-speed
automatic transmission with column
shifter with on/off overdrive button,

radio, variable intermittent wipers,
power windows, split folding rear
seats, and a shoulder hamess for the
centre rear passenger. The only
important items missing are a stan-
dard cassette player and rear scat
head restraints,

For $25,095, the Taurus LX adds
the 200 horsepower 3.0-litre V6
engine, upgraded stereo system with
cassette player and six speakers,
five-passenger seating with floor
shifter, six-way power driver's scat,

. air filter in the ventilation system, a

new coded ignition key anti-theft
system, a more powerful battery,
dual exhausts, and power door locks.

The success of the new Taurus
may hinge on how well buyers warm
up to its innovative styling.

Ford is hoping, as they did in
1985, that the shape of the Taurus
will be the shape of things to come.
