God damn there is a lot of retarded fucking shit being said in this thread. Do a fucking search and you will find that the taurus was based off the 5000. Taurus' are pieces of shit that can never be compared to an audi/bmw/mb. I don't even think ford thought about selling the taurus outside the US cause people over there appreciate nice things, and don't tollerate pieces of shit.
Yamaha did not make audis 2.7 engine, and if someone thinks they can take my 2.7 with their 3.0l, fucking bring it, summer time, winter time, straight line, corners, and I would like to compare interiors too.
