Default Yankee Taurus SHO ... shwa?

Saw a couple TV adds this evening.

It's a pinstriped car w. a giant NY on the hood ... I can't imagine driving a pinstripe car.

I'm not talking about one pin stripe along the body line ... it's like the car is waring a Yankee uniform


Oh, and what's a SHO?

Yup.

And they had a version during the late 80's/early 90's that was powered by a DOHC Yamaha engine. It was arguably the ultimate sleeper.

Oh faSHO! Taurus that is.... It does have a bit more character than the previous gen. Tauruses though-- and certainly more power.

ahhhhhh its for the new taurus
the nicer looking one

not bad

365hp from 3.5L V6 twin-turbo is pretty good
glad Ford has a decent range of EcoBoost engines now

not sure how i feel about the yankeeness though
SHO is about subtle sleeper, this vinyl wrap or paint job sure is the opposite

All the way to the World Series this year and I can follow behind the parade in this if I win it...or if my mom wins it, since I used her name and address in NY!

the reviews for the new SHO are not all that. I was excited about a twin turbo motor with 365 hp, but it doesnt seem to be dialed in yet
