Go here: http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/taurus/?v=htmlAnd check out these awesome words that describe the Taurus:Quote »QUIETLY ELEGANT. SURPRISINGLY AFFORBABLE.Now, English wasn't my major in college... Despite that fact, I'm pretty sure that AFFORBABLE isn't a word. At least the dictionary online didn't come up with any matches.This was on the non-flash portion of Ford's site... Haven't checked it the other way around, not sure if they goofed there too...Boy, oh boy... I guess they had to cut out things like proofreading to pay for the cruise control fire prevention campaign!

Re: Who let this one slide? (Kari)
I know! I can see a typo if we're just talking about text. But in an image, that's so much worse - somebody had to slave over that thing for who knows how long. One would think that with the amount of time you see something on the screen, a little light bulb would light up!!! Oh yeah, I goofed - better fix it! Instead, blah let's just publish it.

Re: (ColonelPanic)
I think they figure that nobody would go to the website anyway, so why fix it.

They apparently fixed it already...and it looks like it's a flash animation or something...Edit: Then I realized you were looking at the NON-flash site. SO...the flash site doesn't have the error, don't know if they fixed the non-flash.

Somewhere this was heard in some Ford office... "Yeah, those dial-up guys don't know how to spell anyway, so screw it - leave it. " LOL!

Re: Who let this one slide? (ColonelPanic)
Although afforbable is obviously an error, cutesy spelling goes with the marketing/hype of all auto manufacturers.Years ago, (1950's I think) Ford sold the 'Fordor' sedans with, you guessed it, four doors.
My 2003 Vibe Base Auto 2-tone Salsa "SalsaWagon" was built in May 2002. I acquired it in Feb 2004/Traded it in on a 2016 Honda HR-V in Feb 2018.
