Mike Spinelli Mike Spinelli Score Pending 2010 Ford Taurus SHO Sedan

Ford’s added bold styling, a comfortable and attractive interior, tons of usable space, a twin-turbo V6, even more lateral grip and quicker responses to the 2010 Taurus SHO. The result is a machine greater than the sum of its parts, and the best car Ford’s ever built.

With the Taurus’s slick styling, enviable list of techno-options, high-level of refinement, and never-ending power band, Ford has built a muscle machine with the chutzpah to out run a Honda Accord.

It is hard to believe the 2002 Thunderbird and the 2010 Taurus SHO were engineered by the same company. Yes, the SHO is refined, fun and fast. It lunches on its so-called competition.

After much driving and much debate, there was only one conclusion: The Esquire Car of the Year is the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO. We were as surprised as you are. The reason can be boiled down to four words: Looks good, goes fast.

At around $9.50 a pound, the SHO is comparable in price to a good Omaha steak, A lot for a Ford but inexpensive for a domestic BMW. The Taurus SHO is a prime example of the American sports sedan.

This adults-only 2010 Ford SHO is bigger, comfier, and more laid back, yet better performing in every way than those sexier, rowdier 20th-century SHOs.

The Ford Taurus projects near brilliant styling and impresses with outstanding cabin design and quality. Moving away from aesthetics, this car really performs. You need to drive it to appreciate it.

What was a docile sedan has transformed into a beastly sports car. This isn’t a rental-fleet Taurus. The Ford Taurus SHO provides enthusiast drivers with a car that could haul their families while providing fun.

Visually, the Ford Taurus SHO doesn’t make much of a fuss about its twin-turbo engine, high performance goodies and ultra high-tech gadgets. But it absolutely rips when drivers drop the hammer.

The new Ford SHO is composed, confident and as solid as a billet of aluminum. It’s great to see the Taurus name attached once again to a stylish vehicle that is likely to play a major role in helping the company gain sales and profitability.
