Both of my current cars are on the list. My 1999 Cavalier is my daily commuter, and I average around 33 mpg. Not bad. No real mechanical problems in 99000 miles. 1 broken serp belt. My wife drives the Merc Sable, a Taurus twin. No mechanical probs at all in 85000 miles.
Author had many wrong takes... For example the Taurus. Here is the real story (I have 20+ years in Supply Chain JIT for Ford, Toyota, Honda GM).
Ford killed the Taurus name at the same time they killed the Atlanta Assembly Plant in Lawrenceville GA. If they moved the Taurus name to another plant, the UAW workers could follow their jobs. If they change it, the could screw the UAW. So they moved the full sized car platform to Chicago Assy, a sister (former Taurus plant), and made the 500 and the Ford Freestar. After the time was up for the Atlanta workers, the rebadged the 500 as the Taurus. A cynical and union busting move.
