At great expense and during a time when the company was in a product, quality, and financial rut, the Taurus was make-or-break. After five years of development, the Taurus was ready for its public debut.<br />
And it debuted at the 11th hour, presented to the press and Ford&rsquo;s own executives in the middle of 1985. Alongside the Mercury Sable, the two models were shown just four months before they would enter]]></description><link>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ng/news/nigeria-car-news/rare-rides-icons-the-ford-taurus-modernizing-family-transportation-part-iii/</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2026 23:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ng/news/nigeria-car-news/rare-rides-icons-the-ford-taurus-modernizing-family-transportation-part-iii/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stellantis Delays Range-Extended Jeep and Ram Models]]></title><description><![CDATA[Stellantis is reportedly delaying production of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer Hybrid and Ram 1500 REV once again. The former model was originally due to begin assembly last spring, while the latter is already about a year behind schedule.<br />
According to Automotive News, production of the Grand Wagoneer Hybrid is now likely to commence in November.

Ford&rsquo;s F-Series pickups could be their own company based on revenue &mdash; and profits &mdash; alone. This is prompting more companies to start building trucks for the U.S. market. The latest to consider it? Volkswagen. VW actually used to offer a small pickup in the U.S. that was based off its Rabbit compact. It left in 1983.

No automaker besides Tesla has ever sold more than 100,000 units of a single EV in the United States in a year.

The model mimics the styling of the brand&rsquo;s Destinator SUV (which we don&rsquo;t have access to) with touches of Nissan&rsquo;s more recent designs.

In 2026, however, it produces exactly one four-door sedan on sale in America: the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. That alone would make it worth noting. The four-month expiration date, therefore, makes it urgent. The recipe was once cheap and everywhere.

The logic is straightforward: mass wins crashes, so pile on the mass. The counterargument, raised by plenty of people reading The Autopian, who saw the rapidly circulating social media post, is that a driver with roughly 40 hours of experience piloting a three-ton truck is its own hazard.

The company had only three platforms to span the entire Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln product range. Its family midsize car of the early '80s was the LTD, which was rear-drive, lackluster, and desperately in need of replacement by something front-wheel drive (FWD) and modern.
