    Conan will stop calling it the "corral," and start calling it "the ranch."

    Too bad it weighs so much. Too bad it's so damned big.

    Tight end speed, but linebacker build. Forget it. I mean, I really like it what with the juicy engine and really great performance numbers, but I can't see saddling myself with all that extra mass.

    I was all gung-ho for the new SHO until I saw a commercial for it in which the narrator referred to it as a "show" and not an "S-H-O".

    @Adamskiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiy: I don't have any memories of the first SHO, but I was watching TV with my dad the other day and he pretty much let out the biggest WTF when the new commercial called it the "Show." Now I don't know what to call it; SHOW like the advertisements or S H O like the old one.

    Don't replace the old one, Conan, keep it and accept the new one. If they're not fulla shit, i.e. no strings attached. No Cash for Clunkers here, hang onto your old steed. I mean, why give up something that suits you just fine? Hell, it's YOURS.

    If Ford told me to give up my '66 F100 in return for a brand new F150 I'd laugh at them. Seriously. That's how much I like my truck. Suits me just fine.

    Heck yes! I actually thought of Conan the first time I saw the new SHO, wondering if he'd replace his New York SHO with a new LA SHO, keep that around for 15+ years. It'd be a great gimmick, "I got a new Show, so I figured it was time to get a new SHO."

    @fuzzmanmatt: it works even better because whoever does the Ford ads pronounces it "Taurus Show". there's also a line in there about the "twin-turbocharging, 365-horsepower-generating EcoBoost engine," which just sounds wrong. i guess i don't "speak car" like Ford does.

    In an ironic sense, Conan O'Brien declares the Lexus HS250 America's worst car, and blows it up.
