I really want to buy an American car to help out the economy, but more specifically a Ford since they are not wanting to get a handout…I mean bailout from the government. The problem is is that there are not really a ton that interest me except the 2009 Mazda6 and since it is owned by the Ford motor company and the car is made in the USA wouldn’t buying one be just as helpful to them as say buying a Ford Taurus or is it more complicated than that?

This is the response I got from Ford, attempting to find out the TAURUS TOP SPEED. " Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting the Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center regarding the top speed of a 2008 or a 2009 Ford Taurus.

Please be advised that Ford Motor Company does not provide information
regarding top speed due to the fact that we do not recommend driving above the speed limit".
The politically correct effete have taken over Ford, can you help me? By the way, I may buy a new Mitsubishi Lancer, the one with only one turbo and the beautiful front grill. Top Speed anyone?
