The last Taurus' were a decent car.It's funny you mention the Hyundai though.I've long compared the Z3's to the first Hyundai pony's.Crappy brittle plastic in the interior.Broken hinges and compartments,crappy fit and finish,pw switches that push down in to the console when you try to use them,etc,etc.It would be one thing if they were a $10,000 car but for what they're priced at,the BMW execs should be given huge bonuses for convincing the mid life crisis types to buy them.
