It'll be interesting to see which of our resident Ford fans step up to the plate and address this.
I'll say one thing about the SHO, it has nice performance numbers. But when you compare it to something like a v6 Camry or v6 Accord, neither of which have the legend of an SHO-like car behind them, then the 0-60 performance in particular starts to look weak. The Camry is 0-60 in 6s and wasn't the v6 Accord coupe at 5.8?

Although I love the new styling, the price for the SHO is just too high.

And I still don't get the mileage. Why is it so bad? Is it the AWD + the weight?
