hmmmm not bad..i can't tell if those are foglights or w.e lol

I've never been a huge fan of Ford (just the fact that they ever made the Tempo/Topaz...*shudders*) but I ALWAYS liked the SHO.

Something about it...that 'subtle' performance look...the fact that you knew it wasn't just a regular Taurus but it didn't scream out 'muscle car' like a Firebird or Camaro or something like that.

Glad to see they brought it back and I really like the looks of it.

Good job Ford. I just hope it won't be a Found On Road Dead!

I'm looking forward to the reviews on this new "Ecoboost" engine of theirs... seems like they have a good thing going there! AWD to boot, thats a first for the SHO! I almost bought a 99 about a month ago, but just couldn't get over the 96-99 egg look...
And we had a 88 Tempo!! That thing was bulletproof! 180K on her and only replaced the tie rods and a muffler! 98 HP too! :P

[Thrizzl3]

LMAO! 98HP thats it???

[kevcol74]

LMAO! 98HP thats it???

That was before modifications... I put some nice CT speed stickers on it!! j/k!
Yep, whopping 98 HP from that 2.3L pinto engine!

would you get the new SHO if you had the opportunity?

I will be considering it for sure. I get a huge Ford discount (A plan), as I was considering the Speed6 in my future plans. (want the family sized car with performance and AWD)
To give you an idea on the discount, my escape stickered at $33,200+tax, I paid $28,000 tax in. :)

whats with Sony written on dashboard?

AWD is the best way to go..as for your discount can i get it on that:chuckle

I'm guessing they have something to do with the GPS or Stereo...
Anyone else notice the paddle shifters on the steering wheel? :whoa

I can get you the "friends and neighbours" discount (X or Z plan I think), but not the A-Plan... thats immediate family members!

Sounds promising. I just hope this won't be just another gas guzzling junk.

Kinda looks like a Sebring!

Google it and see for yourself. :loco to you too!

[kevcol74]

I just googled it... I don't see it. Front end is nothing alike, belt line is different, roof line different.... I don't see it.
But you are entitled to your opinion....





























:loco

[Malcolm991]

Kinda looks similar to me!:loco Sebring is on the bottom! http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u273/spiffman99/Ford-Taurus-SHO_3.jpg http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u273/spiffman99/images.jpg

Thank you!!

[froggy]

It's fugly

[b]

Still a Ford.

If you want one... Just wait a few months when the lots are flooded with them and they can't sell them (like every other Ford product) you can get one cheaper lol.

It's fugly

+1, fugly with a ton of power though.

During the NAIAS I took pics of the Taurus... It was the same one you posted the link from. I was very shocked to see it. 80s vehicle back to life!!!

[FLIPDADY]

Personally I like the Pontiac G8 GXP (Holden Commodore) better. With a 6.2 LS3 Vette motor under the hood what more can you ask for?

[SilentJay]

:S Not impressed with the looks... I did want an SHO back in the day... Nice HO Yamaha engine

[Krakor]

It looks like a larger Ford Focus.

Same lines. That little vent near the front quarter panel, the tail lights...

Nice but not sure I would buy the SHO.

I could ask for AWD...:chuckle YEp, SHO has it! And better fuel economy with V8 performance....

[jaimie08mazda3]

id like a sho. i always did.. sweet

[Brownsound]

I'd love one of these, I always thought the SHO's were a more subtle muscle car. Something about this interior is throwing me off though, I have a feeling the interior plastics are going to ruin it.

[Hives]

Looks attractive. However, its still a ford. Prolly last 5yrs then it goes to the junkyard

[Thrizzl3]

i seen the new taurus at the autoshow...not bad
