Shame...Ford missed the point. At least they will have a halo model to keep in the showroom for the 2 years it will likely be on the market.
38K spells REALLY slow sales...even though it's a 365HP AWD car...not bad looking at that. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/11/o...rd-taurus-sho/ |

Brilliant. Sure, the GTO was a failure in the market, but only because it was too powerful for the money. Surely, if we sell a less powerful car for more money we'll succeed where GM failed!

Taurus.
It's built of the Lincoln MKS platform, so not hard to do the few mods to make it the SHO. But yeah, give me a hook with that to give it a chance. Mopar got it right with the Challenger SRT8 at least. |

I saw a regular new Taurus driving around the other day. Looked worse in person. Car companies will do a long ass road test and they happen to drive through Vegas. All the ones I've ever seen have had Michigan plates on them. Some have had the black coverings to cover some of the looks, and some were just straight up. The Taurus didn't have covers, but it had a whack, spotted paint job. I've seen All types of cars about to come out in my time here. Nothing fancy though.

The 300C SRT8 was a BEAST. 425HP talks. Unbelieveable brakes too. Basically a racecar wrapped in a tuxedo. It was one of my choices of cars up at the lake over the past summers. Hmmmm...... SRT8, SSR, or RX-7..... choices choices. ![]()
