What a great car! It grows on you, in terms of appearance, ride and handling.
Each time I drive it, I like it better. The telescoping steering wheel is a big
improvement, substantially increasing the number of comfortable positions
possible.

It is easier to locate in a parking lot because its appearance is so much different
from the other cars. Most of the others look boring in comparison. The quality
of the paint is excellent.

Ford Motor Company put a lot of thought into this car. Ford and the employees
are to be congratulated for putting together such a fine product. There are
a lot of little things that add to the delight, for instance all the little lights on the
inside make it just like Christmas every day!

Wish I had mine. Going on four weeks that the car's been built and still no SHO. Maybe it'll come this week.

Forgive me, but what color is yours again?

I agree with BORG - pictures would be great!

Good that the Taurus name have been rejuvinated! No more rental car or 'nerd driver' jokes.

I also like that is has the spirit of the 1965-68 Galaxie 500 in it's lines.

My SHO came in today. Got a call from the dealer at 1:00 that the transport just dropped it off. They got pictures of it coming off the trailer for me and will burn them to disk tomorrow. I picked it up tonight and it is AWESOME!!! The power is amazing and should only get better once I get past the 50 mile "nanny" limit in the PCM. Here's a couple of pics in PDI before I took it home.

Can't wait for my Father-In-Law to get his next company vehicle. All he has to do is select the color and put the order in now. His company trades out vehicles every 2-3yrs, so he'll be moving up from an '07 Dodge Magnum to a '10 Taurus SEL 3.5L AWD. Not no SHO model, but I talked him into the Taurus over getting a '10 Escape. Of course I'm converting him to Ford, as he's been a life long Mopar fan. Anyways he likes the look so much he has stated before getting it that this may actually be the first company vehicle he buys off the company after the lease is over.

I'll post pics when he gets it. But he said I can take it for a spin anytime I like. So you know I'll be testing it out in the upcoming months. All depends on the build time from when he places his order.

That car has to be one of the very few "future classics" produced today.

My car doesn't have any panel issues although I've ready at least one story of panel gap issues that the dealer apparently didn't address during the PDI.
