    Eww, another 4 door pickup truck. I'd much rather have a Crew Cab Raptor or whatever Ford calls its truck with the space behind the front seats. Just enough space to fit a cooler, a couple bags, and give some recline-ability in case I need to sleep in the truck.

    They should do a Raptor version of the EConoline with optional Free Candy decals. It would make life much easier for the potential customers.

    In reply to 2010 Ford Taurus SHO: Live And With A Ridiculous Torque Curve
    Got a chance to drive the 2010 pre production SHO last night. She’s no sleeper. The turbo whine down after letting up off the accelerator is really cool. Got back in my 99 SHO with 161,000 while thinking about my three college bound kids, rubbed the dash board and said, don’t worry old girl, we still have a 114,000 to go.

    @MelindaCattle[7]: It's still running at 161k?? You must have welded the cams like the recall said to do.


    Keep her on the road. I find far too many late model SHOs in the yard. :(


    On a sidenote, did the torque throw you back in your seat and did it snarl like an angry beast?

    @MelindaCattle[7]: When you say "she's no sleeper", are you meaning that this car it NOT a sleeper in that it is NOT an unexpectedly fast, plane looking sedan?


    Or do you mean that the powertrain isn't sleepy in that it really comes alive when you stomp on it.


    I imagine it'd pull pretty hard, but please clarify.

    I don't know, Mrs. Potato Head is looking pretty hot. I'd do her with a little butter, sour cream, and some chives.

    This was actually the Second worst press release. Nobody speaks of the Lay's Olestra incident of '92.

    I'd go to that. Approach with a menacing grin, a handful of chives, and a 5 gallon institutional bucket of sour cream.
