Retail sales of the Taurus sedan halted after a short 2006 model year, and production ended on 27 October 2006. The decision to end the Taurus sparked debate, since the car was in a once strong market position and Ford's finances were in difficulty. Analysts, customers and some Ford employees criticized the company for failing to invest in the car and keep it competitive, and an editorial in USA Today said Ford had starved its Taurus.
