Most of you won’t be happy to know this, but please allow me to share it with you. Taurus X, which was once popularly known as Ford Freestyle, is set to bid goodbye to American car fans by 2010. This was confirmed by Ford CEO Allan Mullaly saying that “a redesign of the Taurus sedan will happen much sooner than originally planned.”

Jalopnik.com reports that one reason for this development is that Ford would like to make the road clear for its new baby called Ford Flex MPV, also a 7-seater. Well, does it mean Ford wants consumers to prefer Ford Flex MPV over Taurus X? Looks like Ford is making some streamlining here or maybe trying to cut down on costs and production facilities. I just hope it’s for the better.
