I'm not sold on the idea that this is an "SHO." Probably just the upper market AWD Taurus. Its nice though. If you are thinking of Camry or Accord. Test drive one of these Tauruses when they hit dealers. You'll get a AWD, twin turbo 6 banger for the price of 4 banger Toyota or Honda.

BTW - Ford/Lincoln/Mercury has been racking it up with JD Power and Associates awards in recent years, often beating Honda or Toyota in ranking.

No, the pictures were a Taurus. The SHO is being unveiled in February.

In the fourth picture (where the backgrounds just black/silverish), it looks like an 04-08 TL at the front

I really hope they choose better transmissions for these cars this time around.

As soon as US auto makers give up on the cheezy chrome and fake wood bs, somebody may buy their shit again.
