The Taurus/Sable generally had the 3.0 liter V6 and Ford's AOD 4-speed
automatic. An optional 3.8 V6 was available. There are some unique
models out there, too. Ford actually put a 4-cylinder and a 5 speed
in the Taurus for a couple years following its introduction and called
it the MT-5 (Manual Transmission-5 speed; clever, huh?). And there
was the Taurus SHO (Super High Output) model powered by a nifty Yamaha
V6 and backed by either a 5 speed or automatic.
