The First mule of the 2010 Taurus has been spotted and it looks like the picture from awhile back. Heres hoping the SHO returns.

To get more sales, silly! Who wouldn't want a car named superman??

At least that's what Ford is thinking anyway....

You mean Ford came up with this Superman thing?
Ford's pretty desperate, eh?

I agree that the whole Superman thing is very silly.. Ford actually came up with it? I thought it was just something somebody on the net started saying..

When one of my older brothers still lived in town (now lives in Ft. Lauderdale) some years back and before he got on this BMW/Infiniti kick of his......he drove a sick looking first gen SHO in black (5spd of course). Keep 'ST' off this baby and let the SHO ride once again!

Alan Mullally and Derrick Kuzak (Ford's Lutz) were giving a presentation on Ford's future design and engineering direction. They showed a picture of the current Taurus, which Mullally dubbed "Homer Simpson"... soft, round, pudgy, and unremarkable. Then, they showed the new Taurus, which Mullally said was "like Superman" in comparison to the current Homer Taurus.

The new performance Taurus will blow every SHO ever made into the weeds... ST or whatever.

I just hope they get rid of that chrome on the mirrors, it looks tacky with the black plastic right next to it.

Many I love the idea of an AWD SHO with a GTDI motor.
It looks great too. I bet the SHO or ST or whatever badge it has, will look even sportier.

Who would want an Impala or G8 when this will be sold.

One thing is that the grill is different than the shot in the studio. This one has a grill that looks like the Verve concept. I wonder if the studio shot was just an early design that changed or is the one at the studio the SHO or ST grill.
