Need AWD traction without an SUV attached? Here are 10 great choices.
2010 Ford Taurus
If the Fusion isn't quite big enough for you and your brood, Ford has an alternative: The 2010 Ford Taurus. Also redesigned for the 2010 model year, the all-wheel-drive Taurus is a comfortable and quiet sedan with huge (20.1 cu.-ft.) cargo capacity. All-wheel drive is optional on SEL and Limited models, and if you want some added zip in your full-size family sedan, all-wheel drive is standard on the 355-hp Taurus SHO. Prices are pretty reasonable; an all-wheel-drive SEL sneaks just under the $30,000 mark, and although the SHO starts at about $38,000, it's hard to find another sedan with that much power plus all-wheel drive at that price.
