Filed under: Car Buying, Sedans/Saloons, Ford Starting at just $23,995, the 2008 Ford 500 Taurus will undercut the base Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300 by thousands of dollars when it reaches showrooms this summer. Available in SEL or the more heavily optioned Limited model, all Tauruses will feature the new corporate 3.5-liter V6 pumping out 263 hp and 249 lb.-ft torque. Both trim levels will also feature a six-speed automatic transmission and plenty of standard equipment. Front, seat and side curtain airbags, tire pressure monitors, traction control, CD stereo with MP3-player jack, 17" aluminum wheels, and fog lamps are standard across the board. If you want to add a 6-disc CD changer, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, wiper-activated headlamps with auto on/off, 8-way power driver's seat and wood grain accents, the optional Interior Convenience Package bumps the price to a still attractive $24,890. Other major options include GPS/DVD systems, stability control, moonroof, 18" rims, and Ford's new SYNC system. And if you're looking for AWD, the Taurus comes in about five grand below the cheapest Chrysler 300, at $25,845. Full press release after the jump.
