In 1997 the Taurus lost its place as the best selling car in the United States, surpassed by the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry. The third generation had received mixed reactions from consumers, in contrast to the near universal acceptance of the first, and about half of the cars built went to fleets. The article used for this page names no change that belongs to 1997 alone. The Atlanta and Chicago assembly plants built the car.
