Goo Goo Dolls Join Ford's List of Tour Stops

The Ford Team is set and ready to join the Goo Goo Dolls this coming Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona for what is expected to be the biggest show of their careers. With one of the broadest fan bases out of any musical group, the Goo Goo Dolls are showing Ford their full support by providing free advertising space on the events tickets and via the web. The model being showed at the venue has been debated for weeks, as the attendees are men, women, and children of all ages. When choosing what car to showcase at each event, it is important to identify the market that will be present. If there is going to be a specific age group or gender, it is crucial to take that into account. The decision was made to send the 2012 Ford Taurus to the event, as it is an ideal choice for the average consumer. Its athletic and futuristic appearance adds to its appeal, and its power dome hood and incandescent tail lamps give it a unique twist. Perfect for customers ranging from young adults, to senior citizens, the Taurus' Navigation System with Sirius Traffic and Travel Link combines GPS with 3-D mapping  and provides voice guided turn-by-turn directions. What sets this system away from the others is that it not only offers directions, but also traffic conditions, weather, sports scores, gas prices, and more. The Navigation screen will even play DVDs when the vehicle is in park. The Taurus utilizes Ford's new Activate Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning (ACC) by selecting a cruising speed and the distance you want to maintain from the vehicle in front of you. When ACC detects traffic slowing down, your vehicle automatically slows to maintain the distance you've set. When traffic clears, your vehicle resumes at the pre-set speed. The Taurus' most recognized feature is the most important to many prospective buyers. When it comes to safety, Ford does not rest until they have found the safest and most practical designs and features. MyKey is Ford's newest safety feature that will change the face of safe driving forever. It is an innovative system that can help your young son or daughter drive more responsibly, and safely. Important safety features stay activated, such as the Beltminder warning chime, until the safety belts are buckled. The audio system sound volume also remains muted. MyKey can be set to place limits on speed (to 80 miles per hour) and audio volume (to 45 percent of maximum). The low fuel light comes on sooner (75 miles to empty instead of 50). The few minutes it takes to program a MyKey ignition key through the vehicle's message center will bring you hours of additional peace of mind. 

There are several other features that the 2012 Ford Taurus has to offer, such as keyless entry, a rear view camera, and FordSync, which allows the driver to sync portable devices to the car for safer driving.

The Taurus' 3.5L EcoBoost™ is the first North American production twin turbocharged direct injection V6 engine. We know the importance of stability and control, but originality is the key to our new 2012 Taurus. The Six Speed Select Shift with Paddle Activation allows for automatic transmission that delivers the sportiness of a manual. All Wheel Drive and Sport Tuned Suspension only add to the multiple benefits offered with this reliable and affordable vehicle. Affordable prices and impressive financing rates make the 2012 Ford Taurus the best choice for any driver looking to advance their driving experience, while keeping life simple and safe.
