With the demise of the Crown Vic, and Grand Marquis there is no longer a front bench seat available in full sized cars. I currently have a Cadillac DTS and would give it up in an instant if I could find a Ford product which would feature a 'real bench front seat'. Modern bucket seats are to confining and lack the comfort and spaciousness of the conventional full bench seat(not the 40/20/40....a real bench seat!) I really like the Taurus and would love to see an optional bench seat, with no space consuming console. Thanks, Sam Abear
