I agree. I think it would be fair to say that it's introduction made aerodynamic design fashionable. It's sister, the Mercury Sable, had a great Cd. Both the Cavalier and Taurus suffered from *neglect*. This jibes with my Dad-in-Law's experience. He had a 1990's Taurus that became a terrible junker within a few years. And he treats his cars with TLC.
