Hello Ford, I love my Mustang for my personal car, but when I trade in the minivan I want to buy a versatile sedan or SUV. My idea is to return bench seat options to the Taurus & Edge. Both are wide enough to allow it. Both are beautiful cars and I personally think the 2010 Taurus is the best car you've ever made.... EXCEPT for the lack of a front bench seat. Realize a lot of families stepping down from a minivan will love a versatile feature like a well designed front bench seat. It could be a flip forward with storage space/ cupholder/ armrest design. My dad's 2006 Taurus has one and I think it's just perfect. Ford, PLEASE make it an option again!
