Tight fit, looks seamlessly intergrated with the shape of the car.

There's a new sales pitch....
P76 can take a 44 gallon drum in the boot, Taurus can take a wrecking ball.....beat that Chrysler...haha.

a car that no1 liked in the first place does it really affect the looks of the car in a good way...i mean..it does say somethin for the structural integrety of the car.....stronger than it looks....might still be salvageable

I recon that Wrecking Ball hunted the Taurus down once it was free of its chain constraints...

Ok enough of the Taurus bashing, whilst not being the most attractive car ever designed it is still better than a Magna or Camry of the same era. If any of you ever driven one you will find the V6 just magic, the ride better than most cars, an interior with all the fruit and a price 2nd hand that will have you forget about the styling pretty quickly.
