Too bad.... Too bad they're bringing the overhyped POS model here instead of the good turbo 6.

FAIL. we need a good ecoboost awd v6, not another goddamn rwd v8. ford is full of fail.
Taurus SHO?
I think the Falcon GT would be a great choice for people looking for a strong performance sedan they can carry their kids and groceries around in while being able to play around at the track and keep pace with many coupes in a similar price range. In any event I think it'd be a great alternative to the 335i.
so put a v8 RWD in the taurus then. it's already a full-size chassis.
the sho is a SEDAN. we need an AWD ecoboost v6 COUPE. either build it on the focus or the fusion platform--but either way, ford needs to build one. it would cost less than half what a GTR costs, offer close to the same level of performance (with only a few tweaks) and would sell like HOTCAKES.
RWD domestic fanbois behind the wheel at FROD are blind. that is all.
they are seriously looking into putting ecoboost in a mustang. but it WON'T be awd. i agree that a focus coupe fastback would be the ideal platform. likely able to keep curb weight to ~3400 lbs or less (which is GREAT for awd). needs to have a low drag shape (unlike mustang). i still say a reborn probe would be ideal.
ecoboost v6 is ~350-360hp. the protypes had over 400hp. ford isn't pushing them more because it will piss off the v8 fanbois to know that headers, intake and exhaust on their beloved 5.0's can't hold a candle to an ECU flash and fuel mods on a tt v6.
Its fugly, sorry.
im tired of all these dumb as 4 doors
hmmm, our undercover cops use those.
