Eh...it's a Taurus.
Kind of like a SRT-4 is still a Neon.
Just doesn't do anything for me.

One you're comparing used to new cars on price, wait four years for the Taurus to depreciate and then compare it to a four year old BMW m5.
Two, no none of them would. A mild tune on a 335i is mid to high 12s. RS4s run 13s. A mildly tuned E55 would, but that's a 80,000 car tuning for it is not cheap.
For $40,000 the only new cars that offer similar straight line performance and practicality with a small boost increase are the EVO and STI. And that's stretching the practicality a great deal.

When it comes down to it, it still a family car with balls. Not that impressive.
