Saw a new Taurus yesterday it got me thinking again
I think FORD has a winner with this one. It has me thinking about selling the camaro and moving into a SHO. The styling is perfect on this car from the outside. It looks GREAT! Interior is a definate winner as well. Now to do some reasearch and thinking ..

And the fact that the SHO is $49 995 CDN... F that! You can get a well equipped CTS for that, and actually HAVE something! But the SHO is pretty good looking on the outside.

The SHO is a well put together vehicle. I was quite surprise by its power and handling. A great platform to build from, and you can still haul around more than 2 people

If you have to haul more than 2, the Ford Taurus SHO is a better choice, plain and simple.
If I had little kids I would be driving that instead of the Camaro.

It's an ok car but really trading a tradition sports car in for a sedan is crazy. Yeah I understand the performance but man the Sho can't compete in looks and performance I mean really. In the end it will be just another ford, given it doesn't look any different then the regular taraus.

Shit I have a little one and he fits prefectly in the back with plenty space. I got a 300 for family road trips. But to each his own.

Add four to six inches to the wheelbase and offer the LS3 in it and count me interested, until then they just don't have a combination that works for somebody who wants a fast, comfortable car that can seat four real people and which costs less than 50k. |

Hmmm I would say it performs quite well ! The Sho has nice lines for a Sedan. I think Ford did a good job. Though I do say these rims are butt ugly...but they are aftermarket.. This is with a tune I believe. |

I get the tune and all, but the people who will be buying this car aren't going to be looking to race it. Ford isn't making this car to be in the performance sports car segement. That really defeats the purpose of it, so buying this car as strictly your performance car would be stupid IMO. I mean really how much modding is going to be avaiable for this car given the tech its using. So I still say replacing a sports car for a family car is crazy even if they are giving you performance with it.
