Maybe so...but it still doesnt change the fact that it ruined the american sedan.

Tell that to the thousands of members at www.taurusclub.com. You'll be run outta town faster than you can say BOO.

By the way, the Taurus wasn't the first unibody american sedan. The K cars came out in 1981. They were unibody, and FWD.

HP is worthless.

My horse says, "fight me!"

He's extremely angry at you right now. He's kicking the sides of his stall so hard the entire barn is shaking.

I'm not going to quote a whole bunch more of Rusty's BS to make this next point.

In 2018 a friend of mine was driving a small car (Kia Rio, I think he had). He slammed into a full size half ton at 70MPH. He's alive today. Try doing THAT with a 1970 Olds Cutlass! By the way, I saw pictures of his car. It was literally destroyed. The Olds would have been banged up, not as bad as his Kia, but the driver would still probably be dead. Why? Modern vehicles are designed to do three things:
1) Absorb impact
2) Keep the vehicle occupants in place
3) Protect the occupants.

And with the new safety features that are coming out on many vehicles now, avoid the crash in the first place. End of story.

If you want to back up your post, do a Google on 1959 chevy impala vs 2009 chevy. Absolutely criminal what they did to that 59, but it proves the point very well

And it didn't even hold up well, it crumpled like a empty doritos bag.

You'll be fine rusty. They have 3.0l's under the hood. You have all day.

And i still have my 1984 Reliant.

Excuse me.

Go stand in the corner.

You mean this one?

I noticed a couple of things:
1) The '59's door came right off, exposing the driver
2) The '59' front seat broke away from the floor. Well, it might still be attached to the floor pan, but the floor pan sure got bent to snot to make the seat move like that (which means the frame is toast, too!)
3) The '59's windshield even popped off.
4) The '56's passenger compartment was pretty badly mangled by the crash.

Meanwhile:
1) The '09's passenger compartment remained fully intact
2) The driver of the '09 stayed in place

Yeah, I'd have rather been driving the '09 in that crash.... I'd have walked away (maybe limped).

I noticed that, yes.

In 12 more years cars will be 100% safe...

Not all of them. Some have 3.8's, the forum admin has a SHO. There's at least one member that has a Gen3 SHO, that thing's got a V8, it'll run circles around Rusty's 2.9 (so will the admin's Gen1 SHO.

And there are a number of guys driving '08 and newer cars, those have bigger engines with a lot more horsepower (and torque!) than the 2.9 and 3.0.

And i still have my 1984 Reliant.

My parents had an '81 wagon. That thing was so gutless it was embarrassing! You think a 3.0 is gutless? Hell, my Taurus with that 3.0 (Vulcan) would fly by my folk's '81 Aries going up mountains.

Excuse me.

Why? Did you fart?

I'm pretty sure the early 60's Falcons were unibody. My 68 Torino was. I put a BB 429 in it. Was very fun.
