Didn’t Ford stop making the Taurus?

They discontinued the original taurus (the 80’s/90’s version) in 2006, then they rebadged the Ford Five Hundred as the Taurus a year later.

Heh. C’mon up North. Trust me, you wouldn’t like spring up here (we call it “mud season”) but the summers are never hot & humid.
13th out of 41? I’ll take it!
I’m a little surprised that I was the only one to mention Aretha Franklin for question 2.
I’m *very *surprised that I was the only person to say **Mitch Ryder! **and the Detroit Wheels , people!
Heh. Mad The Swine was giving me a hard time about my answers, but he only beat me by five points.
Hey, 15th! Not bad, considering I’ve never been to Michigan.
Thanks for a great Feud, Dolores and Happy !
It was my first reaction ,but he just is not as big as the others.
Lot closer than ya get in scrabble eh?
Im shocked that I was the only one to say Morels for the food one.
Hey, I finished 6th, which is my highest ever! I hereby award myself a medal, made out of something not the least bit valuable, like say, styrofoam!

Actually, wasn’t the Five Hundred the rebranded Taurus? and when it didn’t sell under that name they changed it back? That’s the impression I got from the models I test drove.
The two co-existed for a while. But then Ford turned the Taurus into a fleet vehicle for a spell, then completely discontinued it, and finally re-tooled the Five-Hundred and renamed it the Taurus.
