SEMA 2009: Ford Taurus puts on a good SHO

We didn't expect much from Ford's new fulls-size four-door at this year's SEMA show, but the quartet of Taurus Concepts were actually pretty impressive. The design lends itself better to customization than we might've thought, and we wouldn't be surprised to see quite a few owners personalizing the look of their cars.

First Drive: 2010 Ford Taurus SHO offers excellence without emotion 5 months ago on Autoblog

Incendiary Statement of the Day: American automakers haven't made many good sport sedans. It isn't because we can't build 'em – it's just that for one reason or another, U.S. automakers have historically refused to take the segment seriously, all but ceding it to the Europeans and the ...

Being that the biggest reveal of this year's Chicago Auto Show has been the new 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, we thought you might enjoy some video of it actually moving rather than just posing all pretty on a show stand. We found some B-roll footage of the new SHO being driven sans a soundtrack, but ...

Flash of brilliance: Resurrected SHO 2 years ago on Autoblog

This is a total flight of fancy on our part, but we'd love to see a new iteration of the SHO.
