Ford Taurus
This full-size sedan is back with very few changes for 2016. It keeps its unique silhouette with the very boxy tail end. The base trim is powered by a 2.0-litre Ecoboost 4-cylinder that produces 240 horsepower. There are two V6 engines available, too: a naturally-aspirated 3.5-litre 288-horsepower and a turbocharged version that develops 365 horsepower and is found in the SHO version. Are you suspicious of the Taurus? That makes sense – we often see them with a police officer at the wheel.
