Ford‘s defense, the car did have 16,000 km on the odometer and it is my understanding that the car went through some very extensive testing at Mosport Speedway. The SHO definitely drew a lot of attention from people. However, there was some dismay expressed at a price tag that exceeded $30,000. In fact, the test car, got out of the car, I could hardly wait to get back in. All that power delivered through the front wheels does create a little bit of torque steer but it was minimal. I also found the test car to pull a little to the left when braking hard, but in niscent of a high performance V8 than a V6.

I tend to think of the SHO as an economical alternative to the magnificent STS rather than an overpriced Taurus. One concern that I would have would be resale. Ford has created a sedan that can stand proud with some equipped with automatic transâ€" mission, moon roof and upgraded sound system, including CD player, ran the price up to $34,000. One can put oneself into a pretty nice Taurus for $20,000 so there are those who would not pay the money that Ford is asking. This is one car that really should be test driven before final judgment is passed. It really is not a Taurus in the sense that most people perâ€" ceive.

I would venture to guess that a high performance sedan built by Ford is going to appeal to a limited group of buyers. Personally, I love the car. It looks great, it performs and is just plain fun to drive. If you do decide to get into an SHO, be preâ€" pared to answer a lot of questions about why you would pay so much for a Taurus. After having the good fortune to drive one for a week, I can assure you that you will be able to answer such quesâ€" tions easily.
