It may not look like it, but the revised 2013 Ford Taurus gains a number of changes, with the most noticeable ones centered on the front end. New headlights and a hexagon grille make the sedan look slightly more menacing, while the performance-oriented SHO trim gets a deep mesh grille bisected by the bumper that looks like an exaggerated version of Audi's signature nose. The changes don't really make the car any better or worse than the current version, just different.
All versions of the Taurus now have some form of MyFord technology, which replaces traditional buttons and knobs with touch-sensitive controls and a touch-screen. Depending on the version, the center screen measures 4.2 or 8 inches. We've been relatively unimpressed with the technology in other models, like in the Ford Explorer crossover, because it can be slow to react, and the touch-sensitive controls don't work if you're wearing gloves. So we're not that happy to see the current generation's regular ol' buttons replaced.

The changes for 2013 help keep the Taurus fresh, but they're also subtle to the point that many consumers wouldn't notice them unless shown. More compelling � especially with gas prices on an incessantly upward march � is the newly available turbocharged four-cylinder engine and its highway fuel economy of at least 31 mpg.
