What do you think about it?











I've been very impressed with Ford lately, only question i have is whether if they are reliable enough?

I like the new SHO. I do not think it deserves that name though. The car is too bog and not nearly as nimble as the orginal SHOs. If Ford wanted to do it right they would have made the SHO model a Fusion and left the Taurus with the ecoboost as just that.

decent specs on paper but imo it is a lackluster car and the taurus is far too common and bland lookiking for my taste. it does not compete well agaonst other cars of its type. lucky for ford there are lots and lors of people with different opinions. ford makes the every mans cars and they do it well. however the styling of fusion and the performance of mustang really stand out in their type. no other fordsthat I can think of really break away from their competitors like those two but ford makes a lot of sid in the pack offerings.

excellent car and really one of the best performance values on the market.

get the track package and the car handles great, especially for its size, and you get higher quality and tech vs most of its competitors...

the SHO has been tried and tested in police fleets as the Interceptor and has proven to be very reliable under very tough conditions.

I don't like the rims or the claustrophobic feeling in the cabin. For $42k, I'm probably looking elsewhere.

Big fan of the powertrain, but not feeling the rest of it. It's not an ugly car, but it's not pretty either. I also agree with the 'claustrophobic' sentiment. I feel less 'trapped' in a Fusion than I do the Taurus, and that's completely backwards of how it should be.

It looks like a slightly bigger version of the Fusion.

I think 4dr sedans make very lame "sports cars."

Taurus SHO, Dodge Charger, etc.

Detroit, where have you hidden the vehicle designers with any notion of style?
