definately the ugly pontiac Aztek...... that thing makes me want to puke. The Honda Insight isnt much better even though it is a hybrid car. that stupid thing is so small it has "Crush me PLEASE" written all over it.
Compared to the cars in its class, it's actually pretty quick.
Your opinion, not really a reason why, but for you it can be.
Well, once again, compared to the Camry and Accord, the Taurus has lost a lot of popularity in the past several years. And what's wrong with being common?
Once again, your opinion, although I'd like to point out that the Chevrolet Camaro had more problems per vehicle in the last ten years that the Ford Taurus has throughout its production run (since 1986).
Yeah, and?
Your opinion but I personally find the rear light on the Taurus to be one of the best looking on any car today (not just in its class). Look at the Accord, CR-V, and XC90 for some crap rear headlight designs.
For front headlight designs, the Taurus's lights are pretty normal. Look at the Toyota Camry (new), new Celica, and new ES300 for examples of crap.
Yes, considering you haven't stated a single fact yet.

The one vehicle I hate is the Escalade EXT. But GM must love the fools that buy it. Not to mention, they're improving the economy on a long-term basis! Maybe it's a good idea (if you're Allan Greenspan), but truly awful that shows everything wrong with America.
Any Hummer driven on paved civilian roads, especially ones that add all sorts of doo-dads and gee-gaws (like brush and headlight guards) tacked on. These people were obviously made fun of in high school, and fell the need to compensate for an inferiority complex.
Any road car with a loud exhaust. I drove a Civic with a noisy exhaust on an interstate for 3 miles...I was ready to just turn off the ignition while going 80 just to put the car out of its misery! Who the hell wants to hear that all day?
Very loud stereos in any car. I don't mean a nice little system (I've got one, myself Id sooner spend money on the inside rather than the outside of my car, thank you). But when you are rattling my windows from 3 car-lengths away, it's too loud. I saw a "booming" Accord a week ago run through a green light that every one else stopped for because an ambulance (fully lit and almost as noisy, of course) was going through. A close one...so you can't tell me it's not impairing their driving! Not to mention, Ive never seen a girl get excited because someone's stereo system was loud.
Every driven a Mercury Grand Marquis? Man, you have to turn the wheel about three-quarters of the way around to make a 90-degree turn! With a 14" steering wheel! How awful is that? No wonder every other old fart in South Florida can't drive? So let's put the deadest, vaguest steering in a car that is huge, and the average driver can't react to. Huh?
The Buick Rivera wins. Super-Fugly. A total waste. When I see a Buick, I think..."Hmmm, there's a car I know I can get in front of in my Neon!" (Yeah, yeah, save me your posts about the GNX and GN. I know.)

Funny you should go right to the Taurus. Park an X-type Jag of the same color next to it.
Go up in a tall building (10 stories ought to do it)
Find a window facing the parking lot.
Now for the test.
Which is the Taurus and which is the Jag.
In an earlier thread here someone intimated that they would like to add a Cossie Kit to a Stock Escort.
I personally would go the other way. Cossie power in a Stock "Looking" Escort.
I like to be inconspiciuous. 😈
As for the car I hate you have to go back a few years to the AMC Pacer.
Reason: Have you ever driven around in a 'fishbowl'
Calling it ugly is an insult to ugly cars.(like the Citroen 2CV)
Calling it slow is an insult to slow cars.(like the Citroen 2CV)

But can you walk further?Originally posted by F1man
I can walk faster then the Ford
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. All of my reliable cars have been Fords or Nissans.
You can deluge me with how fast your Buick is, or how quick your Camaro is, and how fabulous it handles. But at midnight, in the rain, in a strange town, with no fast food, or lodging...I KNOW that when I get in the 'Scort and turn that ol' square-head key,
The "lil' one" will start with no muss or fuss.
Further, I often pick up folks who have broken down. I take them to the nearest phone and hang with them till they're safe.
Maybe, if you're unlucky enough to get stranded in my neck of the woods, You'll be lucky enough to get a ride in the 'Scort.

I have the same fear. Before I pick some one up my "little voice" tells me yea or nay. Besides, who would want a 10-year old Escort?
I once drove past a car with a flat tire, about five miles out of our town. As I drove past, I swear, my mothers voice "slapped me upside my head" and told me to go back and help. Turned out to be three little women and a small, upset, little baby. Another time it was a fellow nurse on her way home, I was on my way for my final test in Nursing School. I got some extra "good karma" on that one.
But I dig where you're coming from, I usually call the KHP and tell them about a breakdown at such and such a place.
I guess it's payback for all the times someone has stopped and helped me when my (non-ford) cars have "done a deader" on me.
My Fords have had the decency to break and be drivable, or break five minutes walk from the house.
Mason, the 'Scort is a '92. But, it's the GT with the 1.8 liter DOHC motor. The regular Escort has a 1.9 SOHC motor that makes about 30 less HP. The funniest thing is buying Tires for the little ****box. It came from the factory with 195/50 R-15's
Every time I take it to get tires some wag asks me if I quoted him the correct size, "that sounds kinda big for an Escort".

Mazda BP engines are good stuff 
You're exactly right, but I do it every time. Builds character.
One time I stopped and picked up a South American fellow with an older Cadillac - drove him about a mile into the small town in Iowa where we were closest to. As we were getting out, he handed me a hundred dollars and thanked me.
