2010 Ford Taurus SHO - Page 2

Guys this car is full size IE impala etc not G8 sized at all it will dwarf the G8!! It will not steal any sales away from it because it will not handle or drive anything like it. The charger is closer to it than the G8!!

Previous Tauruses haven't looked that big, I like how they are stepping up into the performance AWD market though. Something to maybe compete with the STi on.

Thats pretty sick, looks nice, I think they need to make it look a little more aggressive somehow. I would consider it if I didn't hate Ford for some reason.

And the G8 is a compact? Uh no the G8 is as full size as it gets. This is in every way a direct competitor.

I think the reason he says this might steal sells from the G8 and not the Charger, the G8 and this are styled quite a bit alike, slightly rounded with nice placed sharp points, and still managing to look agressive and nice at the same time. The Charger is 80% attitude, 20% class (no offense Muscle Master). All are nice, but they are nice on different levels. Correct me if I'm wrong MM.

+1 what he said,... it looks as big as the charger and G8

That Yamaha motor in the original SHO was one fine motor.
I thought they killed the Taurus..Looks good.

This is a good design. The similarities in basic shape to the G8 make it appear competitive. The EcoBoost system will make it both efficient and fast. I think that the G8 is much more aggressive, but I do look forward to seeing this on the roads.

You haven't been in a G8, have you? They are bigger than they look. They are about the same size as the Charger, possibly bigger.

you bring up a good point, albeit inadvertently. The Impala SS is the closest car the GM has to this and it won't stand much of a chance in a performance test against this.

You know...I thought they killed it myself till the other day I passed one and it had temp tags. New one too...I thought they stop making them when the Ford 500 and the Fusion began production?

Shows how much I pay attention huh!

At least at Ford I guess...

Good looking ride though...I now the older SHOs were nice!

ArcAngel · 02-22-2009, 11:09 AM

I saw this car at the philly show all be it the reg version and it looks much better in person and ps the G8 is a lot smaller mid size like the malibu thiis is the size of the lincoln MKS! So yes its different.

FenwickHockey65 · 02-22-2009, 11:13 AM

GM...new Impala...PLEASE?!?!?!! :(

And of course we hear from Oshawa yesterday that there won't be a new one until 2013...:(

ArcAngel · 02-22-2009, 11:17 AM

yea there lax attitude toward this IMPALA might force many people to consider this taurus especially in SHO trim

GOLDDOG · 02-22-2009, 11:29 AM
