Yeah the old Tauruses (or Tauri?) had a love it or hate it styling. And a real cult following for the SHO. I read somewhere that old Yamaha V6 was good for more power but the accessories (AC, water pump, alternator etc) couldn't stand up to the rpm's. I hope the new Taurus SHO plants a boot in square in the Acura, Audi, Lexus crowd's collective arse. It will be hard to sway some of those folks as they are so hung up on 'image'. Perhaps the image of tailights receding in the distance ahead of them will convert some?
