I'm glad this will happen, but I'm fearful of the buying demographic. How many people will actually want this thing as a Taurus? I'd rather see a SHO Fusion. Put the AWD and the ecoboost 3.5 into the Fusion and with some massaging you're eating up Mustangs and G8s.

People who owned SHOs in the 90s are now squarely in the big Taurus demographic. That said, I would endorse a Fusion SHO to go along with the Taurus. Only the Fusion should have a hot EB 4 instead of the EB 6.

I was an SHO owner, I had an 89, 91 and a 94. It really was a kick in the butt walking away from 5.0 Mustangs in those big 4 doors while the drivers chin hit their laps...

Ford really dropped the ball, left us SHO owners hanging out to dry, they screwed all of their faithful SHO buyers. I wouldn't ever buy another SHO.

I'll stick with V-8 Mustangs, at least I know I can always get parts for them.

As much as I like the idea of that guage cluster...I think it looks a little wierd...kinda like they just cut them into the dash without really integrating them that well...

The fusion needs a 6 with the same 350hp!

What does SHO mean? I've heard the name, but don't know what it means.

According to the BON crew they barely got the EB 6 into the Taurus and Mustang engine bays, I seriously doubt they could fit it in the Fusion without one of these:


Turbo 4 would be lighter anyway, better for balance.
