Not a bad write up i think if they would have topped the SHO off at 39,995 they wouldn't have any problem selling em

I see large rebates in the SHO future.

For what it's worth, the SHO is selling at a higher rate than Ford initially expected...

They expected 10k a year, as I recall. Does this just mean that they've sold more than 800 so far?

The SHO's sales are 50% better than expected. I don't know what their expectations were.

i still think they should've just named it "Taurus EcoBoost" then they wouldn't have die-hard SHO-fans complaining about it and also it would then fit in line with Flex EcoBoost, MKS ecoboost, etc.
