Media Monday: 2008 Ford Taurus

by M Mayder

The 2008 Ford Taurus has a five star safety rating, and is being billed (by Ford) as the safest car in America. In June, 2007, they launched a series of advertising spots featuring this information. Courtesy of YouTube, here’s the first, which featured a father watching his son grow from toddler to near-adult driver.

Ratings are given annually by the Institute for Highway Safety, based on crash tests conducted on closed tracks.

About Automotive Blogger

Some people use their automobiles only to get from Point A to Point B. You know there's more than that. You get mad when someone makes a remark about your car that's less than flattering. You get riled when a cool car is destroyed in a straight-to-video movie. You realize when a new car doesn't deserve it's name of a great car of the past. When you see someone driving a boring vehicle, you feel sorry for them. You know it's not the destination that counts - it's the journey. Welcome home gearheads. Welcome home, car freaks. Welcome to the site that fuels your automotive obsession - AutomotiveBlogger.net
