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!

(removed)...and in an IMAGE too! Talk about an embarrassing moment...bet somebody will get fired over it if they figure out who did it...

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.

Not only that but its the name of their company! FORD... afFORDable!

No wonder their cars explode and catch fire! They can't even SPELL let alone wire a car!!!

FORB rocks! Uh oh, I got a new acronym out of this... Fix or recall the b____, uh never mind.

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!

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.

Kinda like the smart "fortwo" and "forfour"

I would just like to mention that the new Ford is very, very AFFORBABLE...(removed). Found On Roadside Dead!
