The photo above is obviously the profile of the rear deck of the new 2010 Taurus SHO … which is the view most people will see as they follow this performance sedan down the road. Especially after a standing start.
The Taurus SHO: It’s great looking. It’s fast. It’s powerful. It’s slick. It’s sophisticated. It’s stylish. Think of it as the regular Taurus (reviewed last week) that’s on steroids. It’s available this summer! And it’s legal.
What’s wrong with it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing! In fact the Show has more of the right stuff for fans of great driving and handling cars than a few European sedans which cost thousands of dollars more.

There are sporty premium painted wheels, with low-profile 19-inch Goodyear Eagle or optional 20-inch Michelin high-performance tires, a deck-lid-mounted spoiler and twin chrome exhaust tips. SHO also features a new version of the Ford’s signature three-bar grille. Even the SHO logo is reserved.
Under the hood dwells a powerful 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 that delivers V-8 levels of power – with 365 horsepower – without compromising its V-6 fuel economy. But it’s torque that delivers the thrust and the SHO has plenty of it too.

The price for all these amazing SHO features and attributes is just $37,995.
Bottom line? Is SHO or the Taurus going to be a COTY – car of the year – winner? Time will tell.
