(doesnt look or smell like it though). macho this or whatever, small displacement fwd cars will take over. the animals are for the weekend.

Posted 18/02/09 06:19 AM Share Posted 18/02/09 06:19 AM My car club fordbastards was invited to a private view the new Taurus SHO tomorrow at the Dallas AutoShow in Dallas, Tx. We are able to bring our cameras and pick the brain of the designer of the car. I'll try to get some pics and post some up. It's supposed to put down 365hp with the V6 EcoBoost engine. I'm going to ask them if they know what they plan on doing for you guys down there, if the SHO is going to be available for the down under folks. I plan on tellin' them they f'ed up not bringing the XR6 to the US. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/11/officia...ord-taurus-sho/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 19/02/09 03:33 AM Share Posted 19/02/09 03:33 AM (edited) I told him Ford wouldn't be in such bad shape over here if they had brought the XR6 to the US 4 years ago. He said he's just the designer of this car, but he thought I was right. He hopes the SHO fills all the needs of the Australian Ford owners because the SHO is going to be faster than the stock XR6. Here's a couple vids one of my car club buds took while we were checking out the thing. The designer said Ford is going to a one world car, I know that's not good news for you guys, but he said it may take a while for the SHO to get down there though. :( Edited 19/02/09 03:35 AM by dlfswi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree didn't do sh*t for me. I'd rather see them bring the XR6 over here. But the SHO isn't FWD it's AWD if that's any consequence. Also he said if we here in the US keep giving Ford our input on how we feel about this thing needing a MTX Ford should and would build one in the near future.
