That back end is goofy as all hell but the more level beltline looks almost more expensive/luxurious. It’s a huge-ass brick like an old Conti. Neato. And yes, I’m going to be posting these as I make them until I run out of steam.

Couldn’t have at least picked a SHO? I kid. The hilarious part is when Yamahog is behind me in her 5th Gen Camaro at a stoplight I can only see the Sharkfin antenna on her car.

With the level belt line it looks like a next gen Ford Five-Hundred

OOOH, yes. That’s what I was thinking of! I forgot that thing existed. Again.

That is better, the ass in the air look is one of the things that’s always bugged me about these. Well, that, and the cramped interior.

I like that a hell of a lot better. Looks more like the flagship sedan of Ford

What’s fun in a Taurus is sitting in the back seat and being able to see over the heads of the people in the front seat. Stadium seating level: ridiculous.

Feels more cramped than a Fusion. Kind of ridiculous.

I sincerely believe that is one of the main reasons for the collapse of the full-size market. I mean, it was going to be declining anyway because of crossovers, but there’s a big difference between a gradual, manageable decline and falling off a cliff.

Big cars just aren’t big enough vs. midsize models anymore, so people just opt for the cheaper midsize. Automakers have done a terrible job maintaining the value proposition of a larger car.

If only they offered cooled seats on top the heated seats.

the belt line rises worse then water levels in Huston. It be great candidate.

Extreme difficulty mode, because of how the entire shape of the car is designed around the rising beltline: Gen 4 Prius.

(Edit: Meant this as a reply to the post where you were soliciting ideas, but infiniscroll put it on another post. Not that it matters.)

Square up the rear end a little and it would look genuinely good this way!

Shit. I knew someone would suggest this. HERE WE GO.

The profile of the shopped ContiTaurus looks like a first gen Infiniti M45

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To 08/31/2017 at 22:19

I just realized that what I like about the 500/Taurus of the 2000s is the level beltline. It brings some class and is unique these days. This shows what would have happened if that style had carried on to the 2010 and up Taurus and I dig it.

Only down side would be cutting into the Taurus’s best in class trunk space

Can you do this one? I think to pull it off it would need to be more of a Wagon, so make me dreams come true and add s foot of length to the rear as well.

Easy to do, for some reason even though I hate it, I think it has the potential to be a future classic, like waaaay in the future, as one of those weird, unusual cars you see at a car show and you’re like “that existed”. It always struck me as a late 1990's concept which was turned into a road car with little to no changes.

Looks great leveled.
