ORIGINAL ROBOCOP SLAMS FORD FOR “LETTING THE TAURUS GO”

“Ford has ignored the Taurus,” complained the original Robocop

Robocop, the star of the original 1987 motion picture of the same name, lashed out at Ford today, saying the automaker has essentially ignored the Taurus, the first generation of which played a large role in the film.

“Back in 1987, the Taurus was something truly special,” said Robocop.  “It was fresh, exciting and futuristic. That’s why we used it in the movie. But they’ve let it go,” said the slightly rusted and oxidized science fiction star. “The car needs a complete update.”

Indeed, since it’s mid-80’s heyday, Taurus sales have plummeted.  In fact, the sole non-fleet sale of a 2014 model was to Burke and Fidget Mirkle of Paw Paw, Michigan, and they said they’re thinking about trading it for an Avalon.
