The original Taurus was a trend setter/segment leader. This thing just looks like a Camry chaser/copier. Times sure have changed.
Not that it looks at all bad...just that it doesn't look as though it breaks any new ground.

Mules of the current Mustang used steering wheels from a Focus and the gauge cluster from the 94-04 Mustang...
I like the dash of the new Taurus in the spyshot. It ties in well with the 2010 Mustang look. If Ford starts putting a little Mustang in everything they make the cars will be desirable. It's like the 1960's when one car would influence the others. For instance the popular 1958 Tbird hardtop roofline eventually used on all Fords giving them all a signature related look.

Keep in mind test mules and preproduction prototypes usually have parts from other production cars in place until the production parts are ready.

Overall, though, quality appears to be up - nice to see the Sony badged center speaker...lends a definite upmarket feel to the car.
