The Sierra that replaced the Taunus in Europe carried over the Cortina and Taunus OHC Pinto engines and the rear wheel drive layout, but was otherwise an all new car with independent suspension at all four wheels. The Taunus remained in production in Argentina in 1983, and in Turkey it would follow. It was named after the Taunus mountain range in Germany and was often a close relative of a British Ford. The Taunus was the family car of Ford Germany, sold under the 12M, 15M, 17M, 20M and 26M names over several generations.
