Bringing sexy back -- the Ford Taurus

The bull is back.

For Motor Company's Five Hundred model (shown here) is not selling so well, so they decided to resurect the Taurus name, which was retired last year after more than 20 years. The original Taurus was a car that became the nation's top-seller at one time.

Officials spoke to The Associated Press on the condition they not be identified by name because the official announcement had not yet been made. The announcement is expected to be made Wednesday at the Chicago Auto Show.

Ford launched its full-size Five Hundred sedan series less than three years ago. But the car didn't sell as expected due to the less than stellar performance and the public wasn't crazy about the look of the car. Apparently Ford worked on the look and performance and the new car (Taurus) will be more eye appealing and have a better performance record.
