I like it. And that's the engine going in the Mustang, at some point. 2011, maybe.

Is it available in AWD? and if not if it's FWD it better have some serious MPG over the G8GT otherwise all that power will be for not. Those who want that power want to use it like it's meant to be used.

The more I look at the new Taurus the more I like it...especially that interior and many of the styling cues they lifted from the "Interceptor" concept car. I think the blue oval guys may have a winner there.

I like it so far, but shouldn't they being trying to make fuel efficient cars? Or maybe they got wind of a 2nd bailout...?

I'm sure Ford is only looking at the SHO as only being 10-15% of overall Taurus sales. Just as GM is with the Camaro SS and G8 GXP. Plus with them using a turbo six can be a boost (pun intended) but if it's FWD it better have some serious MPGs over the competition.

off topic a bit, but many of these companys that got bailed out are still doing business as usual, and I mean they still fly their company jets, give out big bonuses, and just throw the money away like it was earned.

Many people are outraged when that stuff happens. And I have seen people on news shows defending it, saying things like "do you expect them to drive their car across the country to get to a meeting, or do you think they should wait in line like everyone else?

UM YEA !! when times are tough for us, we are told we need to "make changes" in our lives to compensate, yet if they get bailed out, no changes are made?

I don't think it's "business as usual" anymore. Sure you here about the jet to go to washington and a purchase of a corporate jet that was ordered two years ago or employee getaways.

Fiscal responsibility? How bout the man handling the hammer taking a 30 minute flight in a 747? When more fuel efficient planes/modes of transport are readily available. What kind of example is that? I know he has to fly to places but the 757 the 89th operates is plenty capable for CONUS flights under two hours. Keep in mind when he flys not one 747 is flown but two of em.

Lead from the front!!!!!!!

What got my goat was how congress blasted the big three for flying to the meeting but not one word was said to the banks who went on like nothing was wrong.

you are right.

Just keep printing the money off like we have no debt.

I don't think we have even hit the "HARD" times yet. Wait until the job market has NOT improved, and on top of it fuel prices go back up (we know they will).

tic toc

but now, more people are paying attention. I mean a year go if a bank ceo flew on jet from southern oregon to a city 60 miles away in north california, nobody would notice.

NOW people are saying WTF is going on? It just looks bad for these people to be flying for shorter trips, when they could drive, or possibly do a meeting using a web cam or something similar.

SHO's, they get me in trouble, when i got caught street racing i was toying with an older SHO.

I had a 91 SHO 5 speed, it was fun. It had flowmasters on it when I bought it, it sounded nice, and it really sounded nice when the intake for high rpm opened up.

I sold it after reading how much maintenance they need to stay running in tip top condition. it was a comfortable car though.

From what I've read, it's available in FWD & AWD. God, I'm so sick of FWD. Why are 90% of cars on the market FWD?

What gets me is:

1. The sheer amount of money being thrown arund
2. Now foreign car companies are trying to get loans. This is just out of hand.

I think we should do it. how long does it really take to print out another 25 billion? I mean its just money. lol.

our own automakers should have been on a project like that years ago. Maybe we should push for a comeback of the ford tempo, but this time with a V8. :rolleyes:
