]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> I loved the original SHO. And my tiny pimpled teenage soul wanted one.

Why should AWD be an option? I never understood putting all that power and engineering into a large FWD car.

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> US Ford designers it was a good run but when Europe hands you something you take it and run with it. Enough with fender vents. You haven't made a good one since the 60's.

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> Twinforce=over 400 lb/feet of torque. So that either means some wicked bad torque steer or maybe awd.

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> what's the size difference between the D3 platform (Taurus) and the the CD3 (Mazda6, Fusion)?

meng_mao

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> Odd front end. You don't know where to look. The headlights are small and far back, and there are two distracting maws on the front. The front end needs a focus point.

NovaloadMissesPolar

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> sweet. Can still fix it with older taurus parts at the pull-a-part down the street.

cubejockey

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> @saabophile2: Exactly. The Fusion is about the size the Taurus used to be. Come to think of it, why not drop one of those new, compact turbo diesels in the AWD Fusion, turn up the boost, improve the suspension, and call it a day?

crevans

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> @saabophile2: They should SHO-ize both and the Ford Flex too.

petersterncan

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> The Taurus is a bigger car than the original Taurus SHO - wouldn't it be more appropriate to SHO-ize the Fusion?

V8 Power! Less bloated styling!Optional AWD! Ranchero variant!

It's a damn no brainer. All they need to do is cook up an optional hybrid engine and they're set.

brandegee

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> @OldeEnglishD: Yes, we still need the real Focus. I saw a 2005 Focus beside a 2008 Focus yesterday and I am still appalled over the similarities. But given the time to shake out the bugs of the original Focus, it was best not to change model in the states for a few more years.

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> What's funny is how this set of FAN renderings, (yes, estimates of people not at all associated with Ford of what this could look like, if it even happens) is being insulted as if it's a Ford design effort in any way shape or form.

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> Im not a huge fan of boy racer stripes, however, the original white with blue look comes from the 50's and 60's when cars entered at Le Mans had national colors attatched to them (Yellow- Belgium, Red- Italy, Blue- France...) So I can most of the time look past them as long as they are tasteful.

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> Mr. Ford, I have Scion on line 1. They want the TC back. Thanks.

mehugtree

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> Agreed. If per the focus group yesterday Ford are aiming the SHO as a full-sized car, it's probably better to bring over the Falcon. With the trick TwinForce.

@JUST POLAЯ:
Nice find on Thumper. Supposed to handle reasonably well too.

I wonder why the renderings didn't include the decals from pinnacle of SHO performance, the Firehawk Ninja Turtle cars:

[www.shotimes.com]

Supposedly the Ford engineers installed a specially tweaked ECU. Would like to have a few copies of them.

newfmike

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> The 2010 Taurus looks sharp. These renderings don't do much to improve on it.

The SHO is a neat idea, but I'm with everyone else on this on: Give me the Aussie Falcon.

Preferredcustomer

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> I started a rumor on the Crown Vic board that the new Taurus could be a reskinned Falcon with left hand controls. Although the greenhouse area in all the imagery I have seen looks like a the same greenhouse area shape as the old 500/current Taurus.

Honestly, they're all evolving toward each other anyway. It looks passably sharp - FoMoCo could sure use a winner these days.

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> @DannyBN: Fender vents all the way.

I actually dig the wheels, and I actually dig the car. For a Ford... I'd say it's a winner.

]]> <![CDATA[2010 Ford Taurus SHO Renderings Updated]]> @DannyBN: Fender vents, Ford US parts bin. Wheels, Ford Europe parts bin.

They really need to black out the chrome to differentiate it from the regular model, IMHO.
