To answer the question asked previously? No, the Ford Taurus was beaten out of the spot by the Toyota Camry in 1997. This “new kid” on the block topped over 395,000 in unit sales and became America’s best-selling passenger car. The Ford Taurus and Honda Accord were thrown into second and third places, respectively. The brand’s V-6-powered version was also a standout that year.
