Click image for photo galleryWith Ford's new
safety-centric campaign for the
Taurus underway, it's looking like we should probably get ready for the Oval to stay on-message regarding erstwhile Freestyle as well. After all, the Ford
Taurus X wagon crossover
equaled its sedan brother's five-star ratings in NHTSA crash testing, and today comes word from the automaker that the Taurus X has received a sloppy, wet smooch from the IIHS as well after the car earned the organization's
Top Safety Pick label. The Taurus X scored a
"Good" rating (that's the highest one it can receive) in the IIHS's crash test regimen, something that the automaker's sure to tout when it advertises the refreshed and renamed family truckster.
Ford's PR is pasted after the jump.
