im not sure since im not a ford fan, but also, i think they failed miserably with the 500 or watever that fugly sedan was that was supposedly the replacement for the taurus(?) so perhaps they wanted the name recogntion again to ensure that people know it's a ford car to isolate bad memories.
I think the 500 was a Crown Vic replacement. They were trying to get it in as another fleet car....and failed horribly.

Nah, the 500 was a Taurus replacement. The last 2 years of production the car was renamed to the Taurus/Sable again.

It's kinda fuzzy I guess. The fusion slotted in under the Taurus and the 500 slotted in between the Taurus and crown Vic.

They tried to replace our fleet Vic's with 500s and replaced the fleet Taurus' with fusions.

The Taurus was a mid-size car until they built if off the 500, and it only became classified as a full-size in 08
