All the more reason to now. The current 243 HP variant can probably outrun this Taurus, which in all fairness Im sure the Legacy is lighter.


I don't think I am impressed with Ecoboost. 25 MPG is nice, but not amazing. The 340 HP GS460 gets 24 Hwy.

Well at 50% more cost you would hope so............

edit- the GS is RWD as well I think? Not AWD

The front of the SHO looks very elegant and sporty, but the back reminds me of the Passat.

That is a sick SHO Taurus!! $38K though? Hmmm.....

[GS300Rich]

I really like this design

Car looks good, nice power too. That being said, it's priced about 7k too high.

Agreed.....but it probably will not sell for full list, especially after it has been on the market a few months.

I don't care for the new styling as much as on the present Taurus-Sable. The headlights and tail deck on the new model, IMO, are swept too much. I like the more conservative look on the current model.

Wow the SHO is back in V6 form.. Impressive HP numbers for the 6.. Ford is is bringing back hot rod performance with a blend of fuel economy..

Ford Fusion should be next.. Remember the Contour SVT of the early 90's?

I recall walking on the lot and being like whoa, what is that? Where I grew up you did not see euro cars everyday so that was the closest thing you seen like a BMW.

Slight body kit, the rims, low profiles, it was sweet!!!

Wow nice crap FINALLY!!! USA USA USA USA!!

It does seemed to be priced competitively - but that's a lot of dough for a Taurus no two ways about it. I really like the design of the car and the interior is sharp. The specs seem very promising as well and Ford has really stepped up the feel and quality of their newer generation cars.

But here's why the $38k price bothers me:

How will the car be in 3 years? 5 years? A complete rattle trap? And then there's resale value. I realize that resale value for a lot of cars is in the crapper due to the economy, but will it be worth the same as a comparable Acura TL in 3 years?

I don't think so Tim...

If the cars turn out to be well put together and aren't falling apart, heck - I'd certainly consider picking up one used, it should be a heck of a deal!

looks better than the new acura TL.

i was thinking the same thing, you'd have to be mad to buy a TL instead of this.
