2010 Ford Taurus earns IIHS top safety pick

2010 Ford Taurus at today?s Chicago launch - $25,170 to start and 20 mpg combined. The new 2010 Taurus builds on Ford?s safety leadership by adding to its leading number of IIHS Top Safety Pick ratings. The new Taurus not only features side air bags that are designed to deploy up to 30 percent earlier than traditional air bag systems, it also pioneers the mainstream introduction of active crash-avoidance features such as a segment-first, radar-based forward collision warning system that helps drivers avoid accidents.
