[Waver]

Funny, that is nothing like the order guides that we get.....

[jbiscuit]

Uh oh....don't tell Michelle. These things will sell like hotcakes

[Car Guy]

It's all but confirmed that a 'SHO' model will be arriving very soon, time to start buying PowerBall tickets...!!!

You're asking too much...their won't be stick. No way, no how. Zip/zilch/nada chance in hell. C'mon, you KNOW this...so don't set yourself up for disappointment.

[Car Guy]

The SHO will have a 6-speed option (optimistic side of me talking)....

6 speed automatic, standard. That's it. They'll see NO reason for tooling up and developing a 6 speed fit for that FWD platform. Much less making that available with AWD. That's the realistic side of me talking.

Why must you ruin my fun...???

Well, the Mazda 6 has a stick option, which I know is a match to the Fusion, not the Taurus, but I am sure they could throw it in a Taurus. And it already has an AWD option. I am doubting that transfer case can handle the 350 HP though. I mean Subaru and Mitsubishi have been at the AWD turbo game longer than Ford, and they still can't make one that can handle 350HP

[Mr Twigbert]

What's all the hype over? A V6 turbo in a family sedan???

I've always liked the SHOs but something tells me this will just be an over priced Pontiac that not many people will buy..

[Cjburn]

It will be cool to be able to buy a twin turbo Mustang in the future, that's for sure.

I can see getting an AWD Ecoboost Taurus (SHO or whatever they'll call it)
later this year, but I think they'll price it too high. Saw where the Ecoboost in
the MKT will add about $3,000, so a $33,000 Taurus with $3,000 for Ecoboost
and some extra for the SHO bits might be pushing $40,000. That's really
starting to get close to a 335xi or "closer" to an S4 (the S4 being a better
car). G37x would likely be cheaper, but less HP.

I do hope they keep it reasonable, I'd like to put it on the list. I also hope they
give it a little more HP in an SHO. Would be nice to have it set apart from a
"run of the mill" Ecoboost in an MKT, Flex, etc.

Guess what...Ford is going to price themselves right out of the market with this thing. davidrab is exactly right, for the price that it will cost to buy one of those SHO's you can get a BMW, Mercedes, or alot of other higher end vehicles
