Ford sells two, and soon to be three, cars that slot below the Taurus, its largest car, so there's plenty of room for average Americans to buy Fords.

I cannot say much about the new Taurus except this. I have been to three dealerships in the Chicagoland area and seen TWO Taurus vehicles. My wife is getting one as her company car (replacing her 2007 Impala) and we are looking to chack out the colors.

I am not so sure how well the new Taurus will sell. The new model is awesome in my opinion and the SHO is beyond belief, but I kinda get a bad feeling about how many they will sell. Ford should have NEVER dropped the Taurus to begin with.

More to the point, they should have never reduce it to a lame rental fleet vehicle. That destroyed Taurus's brand equity far more than dropping the name did.

the SHO looks good with a engine developed and built by Yamaha, the new SHO's advanced engine turns a relatively small 3.5 liters of displacement displacement and a lot of pressure into 365 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 350 ft.-lb of torque at 3,500 rpm. That makes this version of Ford's 3.5L EcoBoost V6 the most powerful one available with 10 more horsepower than its other applications
