Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 25, 2009 4:39 am) I am definitely looking forward to checking out the new SHO. I sold my '94 SHO in 2001 w/108K miles. I really liked that car. Unfortunately there was not much else around that was American made that would compare. So I bought a 2001 Audi A6 2.7T w/6-speed. I'm holding on to the Audi until I can drive the SHO. If its as good as the write-ups seem to suggest I'll buy American again.

Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 25, 2009 4:39 am) That's exactly why I"m willing to give them a close look this time. I drive 40-50,000 miles a year; and a car is just another business expense to me. It has to be safe, dependable, comfortable, economical - which includes purchase price, operating expense & depreciation cost- as well as reasonably enjoyable to drive on all kinds of roads. Brand is immaterial to me; & in the last 30 years or so the foreign Mfrs. especially the Japanese, have simply done a better job of meeting my needs.
#33 of 275 Limited or SHO? by rhawk Mar 26, 2009 (3:16 pm)
I've been looking to buy for about a year now. I just can't find what I want. I've looked at Infiniti G37(nice car), Lincoln MKZ, V.W.CC, Cadillac CTS, Pontiac G8, but I think the Taurus will be my next car. Now whitch one, Limited or SHO?

Replying to: rhawk (Mar 26, 2009 3:16 pm) You looked at some terrific vehicles. Sounds like you want/need a big car (the Taurus is way bigger than any of the ones you have tried so far). Replies to this message: rhawk (Mar 27, 2009 7:45 am)

Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 27, 2009 5:22 am) My wife want's luxury, I want fun to drive. She drives a small car, I drive a truck. Bigger is better for me(I need the room). I think the SHO is what I'm looking for. I'll know more after a test drive.
#36 of 275 Hope resale values rise with these by nomoreford2 Apr 07, 2009 (4:27 pm)
Very nice car from what i saw at the autoshow, but i dont think i could put down $26-27k for a car that will be worth $10k less in a year and your $5k upside down after a yr. Hope this model will shake the rental image the taurus became.
#37 of 275 2010 sho is a porker! why?? by pod May 05, 2009 (9:29 am)
Today's edmunds "first drive" variant on the SHO claims a weight of 4368 pounds. Why in the world would it weigh so much. My 2000 Sable (Taurus cousin) weighs 3600; the first montego/500 series weighed about 3900. Why the incessant journey to morbid obesity? The new engine with 365 horses will be performance strapped trying to push all this lard about. Where is the extra weight and why? The SHO sounds like a great new direction for Ford but where are the weight police. The weight gain will cancel out most of the other gains with respect to acceleration, fuel economy and tossability. My god it's getting up to SUV weight. WHY? Replies to this message: akirby (May 05, 2009 10:03 am) berri (May 05, 2009 4:40 pm) brucelinc (May 06, 2009 4:44 am)

Replying to: pod (May 05, 2009 9:29 am) Safety (air bags, door braces, etc.), turbos and AWD. It's also a larger vehicle than the old Taurus/Sable. Replies to this message: berri (May 05, 2009 4:40 pm) brucelinc (May 06, 2009 4:44 am)

Replying to: akirby (May 05, 2009 10:03 am) I wonder why they are only offering the SHO in AWD? Replies to this message: brucelinc (May 06, 2009 4:44 am)

Replying to: berri (May 05, 2009 4:40 pm) That much power to the front wheels would cause all kinds of drivability issues - torque steer, loss of traction on quick take-offs, front end plowing when putting the power down in the middle of a turn, etc.
