2010 Taurus SHO

I just got my quarterly Ford magazine, and much to my surprise the SHO is coming back. It will have a twin turbo 3.5L v6 with 365hp and 350tq. UNBELIEVABLE! My wifes Taurus has the 3.5 and it is rated at 263hp and that thing hauls. I can't imagine 365hp in the same car. On top of that it sounds like Ford is going to put the TT 3.5L in future vehicles. The 2010 Fusion Sport will have the standard 3.5L. That car will be like a rocket. Hats off to Ford, they are really turning up the heat on the other manufacturers.

Sounds like a good deal. Everybody's doing the turbo stuff to keep up the mileage, and it seems to work. (Providing you put a 2x4 under the has pedal!).

The tech is pretty amazing, and I guess reasonably reliable.

We get 22/city and 26/hwy with our car. The SHO is rated at 15/city and 25/hwy.

The Flex w/ the EB 3.5L is rated at 22 hwy. I'm assuming the Taurus is slightly lighter than the Flex and definately more aerodynamic.
