How has no one commented on the pure sexiness of the 90's most voluptuous vehicle??

The Ford Taurus

Look at those bulbous curves


When I think of a Taurus, I think 80s. The introduction of the Taurus marked the end of the boxes on wheels. There were waits to buy one due to the popularity. It had a good run.

That late 80's/early 90's wood panel minivan screams nostalgia… not necessarily in a good way.


"Hey, I've got an idea. Let's make the car look like it's made out of wood. People will love the idea of a wooden car."



this was a long running design feature. My mom had a 1977 Pontiac station wagon with faux wood paneling. I always assumed they were harkening back to the woodies from the 30's and 40's. It is interesting to see it lasted into the 90's. I didn't remember that.
A fearful society is a compliant society. That's why Democrats and criminals prefer their victims to be unarmed. Gun Control is not about guns, it's about control.

Oh I know. I was just trying to point out the absurdity of a wood panel on a vehicle.

That's fair, but I was born in the 1990. The rounded Taurus seemed totally ubiquitous in my childhood.

I forgot about that! My mom had one and it was a good car. She also had to be on a wait list for it.

I think of late 90s Trans Ams, probably because I really wanted one. Mitsubishi 3000GTs as well.

Dodge neons and their perpetually crappy drivers remind me of the 2000s hahaha

Whatever year the PT Cruiser came out. '99???

Those things were so in demand you couldn't get one anywhere. And I have no idea why. They are horrid.

Was thinking the same thing, and one of the first pivots to bringing back old styles (vw bug, el Camino, thunderbird, etc)

If you're going late '90s early '00s the Plymouth Prowler is a standout in the retro styling department.
