Hey Folks,

Well, look what arrived at the Ford, Lincoln, Mercury Dealership my father is a Manager at. Not. This vehicle is NOT on the market. It's a vehicle that a FMC Rep drives around to show dealerships features of the new 2010 Ford Taurus and what the NEW SHO is about.

Here are pictures I took of it this morning when it arrived at the dealership. These pics are of the exterior and engine:

Fo'SHO!

Awesome car! I bet these suckers will be right nasty with the stock twins making 365 hp! I cannot wait to see some enthusiast love for this!

Ford has the cut-off @ 130MPH. Ugh

Wow, I just looked up the specs, 3.5 liter twinturbo V6 for 365hp and 350 torque sending power to all four wheels.

A very practical sedan with a kickass motor.

I just wish I could have driven it. My dad gets to drive it though. Wait. He does not know how to drive a fast car. All HE DRIVES are darn trucks.

Don't worry SCT tuning will have a flash programmer to take care of that.

I actually saw one a month at a Ford event....they sticker around 37k to 39k.

Nice car, awesome powerplant.

Well equipped, they top $42K. Yikes..........that's a lot compared to prior generation SHO's. Also, curb weight is quite a bit above 2 tons. A lot to lug around.................James Healey from USA Today was fairly complimentary about it overall. One thing he "didn't" like were the front seats & apparently it isn't as big on the inside as its competitors. But plenty of get up & go!!

See ya

Its a fairly hefty car and price tag, but certainly an upgrade from the standard unit coming out. The mags have all torn up the newer model for steering feeling mundane, so hope they boosted it in these units. For that money I still rather have a G8 GXP however .. and they are gone soon. (but I hear might be moved to Chevy as an Impala SS successor)
