It’s not your grandpa’s car anymore: The all-new Ford Taurus is back in style! The 2011 Ford Taurus is clearly the most ground-breaking new car of the year. Russell & Smith Ford is Houston’s home for New Ford Cars and Used Trucks in Houston and has a wide array of Taurus’ in all kinds of trim levels. The SE model starts at just over 25 grand, making this masterpiece right for everyone. Under the hood the SE is running a 3.5 liter V6 and a 6-speed transmission, it gets up to 28 MPG on the highway; That’s some serious fuel economy for a 4 door sedan that bolts around like a V8.

Moving up in price to the SEL and Limited models adds quite a bit to the plushness of the interior. Costing about five grand more than the SE, these models allow drivers to ride on hand-stitched leather seats, feel the comfort of paddle select shifters and listen to SIRIUS satellite radio.

These high end models come with all the bells and whistles imaginable: great stereo, the Ford-exclusice SYNC system, even rear cameras to warn you about obstacles behind the rear bumper.

Getting out of the typical sedan style, Ford is proud to introduce the Taurus SHO. This model has all of the right features inside and out, especially when it comes to horsepower. The 3.5 liter EcoBoost engine can burn rubber on the highway and yet get 25 miles per gallon. A true dual exhaust system helps the SHO breathe and the upgraded AWD system delivers traction in all extremes. The SHO has a sport tuned suspension and aerodynamics package that makes this car handle like a well-tuned sports car. Don’t worry about not being able to see at night or in the rain. The SHO includes High-Intensity Discharge headlamps that keep the road in view even in bad weather.

No longer a boring sedan, the new 2011 Ford Taurus combines great reliability with the look, feel and fun of a muscle car.
