It’s true. But what’s the best way to clean windows? Which country has the best waste disposal methods? It will produce its best powerband at around 65 mph and at lower revs. However, human kidneys can only produce urine that’s slightly less salty than saltwater. Building things from scratch is unnecessary when you can greatly benefit from WebOn. They have the potential to scratch the floor and damage the protective finish. Scuff marks on the floor are inevitable — even for your grandmother, whose house always seemed in pristine order. Even with decontamination, signs and symptoms may last for hours. If you’ve been in your home for a while and have never had your air ducts inspected, it may be time to do so. It is a reminder, if one were needed, that not everyone breathes the same air. The most-important interim development was standardizing the passenger air bag for ’94.

Inside, the ’92 Taurus presented a redesigned dash with subtle ergonomic refinements and space for a newly optional passenger airbag. With base stickers straddling $25,000, the top-line Taurus still faced competition from a host of formidable foreign sports sedans and usually suffered by comparison. Still, this was the closest America had yet come to an affordable European-style sports sedan. A reworked suspension with stiffer springs and shocks, bigger brakes, and 16-inch rolling stock made cornering nimble and near neutral — a revelation for a domestic front-drive sedan — yet ride was scarcely less supple than in mainstream Contours. Among these were a stiffer unibody structure, a suspension revised for a smoother ride with no harm to handling, more-responsive power steering, extra sound-deadening in strategic places, engine adjustments for improved drivability, and a more-precise solid-rod shift linkage for the dashing SHO. SHO pricing remained unusually steady in these years, but neither that nor the automatic was much help to sales. Having made its mark with hot Cobra Mustangs and rapid F-150 Lightning pickups, SVT was asked to realize the Contour’s full sport sedan potential for 1998. Marketers doubtless hoped the new model’s image would boost sales for the rest of the line.

In line with a fast-growing Detroit trend, both Contour engines could go 100,000 miles without a tune-up. As mentioned, Taurus took over as America’s most-popular car line in ’92. That was twice the expense of the original Taurus program, but included the high costs of developing two brand-new engines, manufacturing facilities, and the usual new-model tooling. But unlike the original compromised U.S. Opt for an SE with desirable extras like ABS and traction control and you were well over $20,000, which was Taurus money. Much of the money went toward things that didn’t show but made a good car even better, particularly in the areas of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). Collectible Automobile magazine thought the SVT Contour so good that it would one day be a coveted keepsake. No need to mess with sprays or powders-simply place these insoles in your shoes and let them absorb sweat and banish odor as you walk, run, and work out throughout the day. This is also the process that you need to follow in case you have a leather wallet and you want to know how to clean a leather wallet. Cosmetic alterations were subtle but sufficient for those in the know, and there were plenty of extra niceties such as leather upholstery.

To maintain performance parity with the five-speed model, the 3.0-liter Yamaha V-6 was enlarged for the shiftless SHO to near 3.2 liters (192 cid), yielding a useful 20 extra pound-feet of torque (220 in all), though no more horsepower. But though eclipsed by those cars for image — and ultimately by a V-8 successor for perfor­mance, the V-6 SHO was a rewarding driver’s car with a pleasing blend of American and European characteristics. An interesting ’95 variation was the SE (Sport Edition) sedan, a kind of budget SHO delivering alloy wheels, rear spoiler, sport front seats, and other extras for about $18-grand with base 3.0-liter V-6 or just under $20,000 with the punchier 3.8. Interestingly, the smaller “Vulcan” V-6 got some needed NVH improvements in preparation for the all-new second-generation Taurus. The ’95 tally was almost as good: just over 410,000. Like Escort, Taurus wouldn’t see another major change until late decade. Yet for all its crushing dullness, Tempo remained a decent seller, with steady model-year production of well over 100,000 units through swan-song ’94 — and the ’93s made a surprise spurt to better than 238,000. Tempo’s only changes of note in this period were loss of the AWD option after 1991 (when it was called “Four Wheel Drive”) and the ’92 addition of the 3.0-liter Taurus V-6 as standard for top-line GLS models (which then went away) and an option elsewhere.
