Okay. I am thinking of getting the new Taurus SHO. Below I have taken some excertps froman autoblog.
The new SHO may also restore respect to a name that has fallen too far. A 365-hp twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, all-wheel-drive.The twin-turbo, direct-inject engine that Ford promises will deliver V8 power with V6 fuel economy.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. Backing up the potent powerplant is a torque-sensing all-wheel-drive system mated to Ford's 6F55 six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. The tranny is augmented by a manual mode that can be controlled either by the console shifter or paddle shifters, and will also rev match downshifts and hold gears even when the tach is bouncing off the engine's redline.
I am going to get all the bells and whistles and I'm going to get the color cinnamon exterior. The interior will be black leather with tan suede inserts.
So are there any thoughts.
