Here in the States, the S-Type is referred to as a Ford Taurus in evening
clothes.  They are pretty much the same car.

No actually the LS and T-bird are derivatives FROM the S-type.

I traded in a 01 Taurus for a 02 S-type, if you think they are the same car,
you are highly mistaken.

Translation of webserves' comment:-
"Here in the states there are a lot of people who are referred to as idiots
as they don't know what the hell they are talking about, they are pretty
much the same thing."
