The new model made its debut at the ongoing 2011 New York Auto Show.

An article over at autoblog by Steven J. Ewing is reporting that the latest version of the Taurus has a more aggressive look to it. This is for the base Taurus and also the high-end SHO. Ford has even admitted that they used Audi’s A6 as a benchmark when designing the new model.

In the non SHO Taurus you will find the new 2.0liter EcoBoost inline-four, which is reported to be capable of 31 miles per gallon on the freeway. You also will have the choice of the 3.5-liter V6 which is now capable of producing 290hp.

The power plant in the SHO has been left untouched, so the EcoBoost V6 still produces 365 hp with 350ps of torque. Ford has tinkered with the brakes though and put in a bigger master cylinder, which is claimed will improve the feel and response.

The 2013 Ford Taurus is expected to hit showrooms during the first half of next year. Use the link above to see more images of the 2013 Taurus.

The SUV was not coming back in a form that we are familiar with – you can clearly see with the images from Autoblog that much has changed.

Chris Paukert from the above mentioned auto website has had a chance to give the new 2011 Ford Explorer a go, and before he gets going with his first drive experience was like, he thought it was only fair to offer a brief history into how the model had been damaged through past events. So we know that the 2011 model will have to be something special to shake off the stigma.

The new vehicle will be available in three trim versions: base, XLT and Limited, which we discussed in a recent post. Prices are $28,995 to $39,995. Paukert pointed to the fact that the 2010 Taurus was able to become a success even after being tainted, so there is no reason why this will not be the case for the 2011 Ford Explorer as well.

Below we have found a video of the new Explorer, and how it performs on the sand. In the video it has been pointed out that the new 2011 Ford Explorer is no competition for the Range Rover – but is anything? One thing is certain, from watching the video you will have a lot of fun on the sand – even if you might lose control a few times.
