The third-generation Ford Taurus wasn’t a well-liked car in the United States, owing mostly to the fact that the design went from a family-friendly potato-ish shape to a mess of blobs and orbs that were meant to emulate Ford’s oval logo. It didn’t work here, but somehow, someone managed to convince someone at Ford of Australia that the Taurus needed to be imported and sold alongside Fairlanes and Falcons. Yeah…sorry about that one, mates.

If a bone-stock 1990s Taurus is offensive on the eyes, then where does a gold Taurus with one of the most hideous wide body kits ever tacked on to a car sit with humanity? Right up there with Rosie O’Donnell jogging in the nude, I’d wager. So when the lads at Performance Forums found this abomination a couple of years ago, they did the only rightful thing to do: let the local fire brigade use it as a fire training exercise after beating the unholy hell out of the car on an off-road course. To their credit, the car was on it’s last legs, wouldn’t pass inspection and the body kit’s application pretty much destroyed the factory body, so it’s best that this particular Taurus was put down. Don’t shed a tear, you and I both know nobody is missing it.
