Get it? Autoblog.com is reporting that Ford has conducted a focus group out in Chicago, probing what the market might be like for a possible return of the Taurus SHO… Oh, how not exciting.
As told by Don Mallinson on V8Sho.com, the story goes that this band of brothers participated in a focus group and had their brains picked for an evening about what makes a SHO a SHO, and if the much missed name were to be resurrected, what should the car be like today?
Ok let me help them out with this one. What makes a SHO a SHO? A large car, FWD, 14 second 1/4 times, and a car cheap enough to appeal to the weird hill billy demographic that thinks V8 + FWD = AWESOME. (btw, it doesn’t).
And in case you don’t know, the original Ford Taurus SHO was born out of a necessity to get rid of a bunch of motors Ford had purchased from Yamaha for another project that ended up failing miserably. So, perhaps Ford has yet again found it’s self with a stock pile of motors and no cars to put them in.
