will a 2026 ford taurus grace our shores

Ford is teasing the next 2026 Taurus for international markets.

The changes to the Middle East market Taurus include a new grille flanked with high-riding headlights -- there's a hint of Mustang there.

The rear gets a new fascia, body-color diffuser, and updated taillights. Inside, the center console will be revised and it seems likely materials will be updated.

Why are we bothering with a Taurus sold overseas? Well, there's always the possibility that Ford could revive the nameplate in the States -- the Taurus name was shifted to the mid-size sedan in other markets.

That's not to say the car will be back -- we've heard nothing either way. We just like to check in with international markets here and there, because we never know when an international nameplate could come Stateside.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

My 08 Taurus served me well. Needed some small things done so decided to trade. Then Ford quit making them and the Fusion. Reluctantly bought a slightly used Avalon. I basically enjoy the car but it sits too low.

Ford doesn't know how to sell cars anymore. Why bother with adding one since they cowardly decommitted to selling and building cars here. As a nearly 40 year former customer of Ford, I divorced this brand when they ceased building cars that were not also recalled daily.

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
