Stems from the fact it's a Taurus?? WTF? Really, well now I looked at several cars before I decided on the SHO. The Audi S4, Cadillac CTS-V and the BMW 5 series (I'm not a fan of Chrysler products any more the last 2 I had literally fell apart). Okay price point first my SHO was $45K, The Audi was $65K + the BMW can't even get close to the performance I have with mine now with the exception of the M $120K lol. The CTS-V was $85K +. Has he even sat in an Audi S4? The buttons are mashed together and are all over the place. I nearly crashed my test drive looking for the driver aid controls. And cramped? Hello??? (I know the S4 is considered a mid size but the A6 isn't much better for interior room). I just couldn't get into the newer styling of the BMW so that didn't take long to make up my mind. Now the CTS-V I liked a lot, what's not to like right? 560bhp rear drive ect..... well the 40K premium was hard to swallow right out of the gate, and the nav system was outdated by like 10 years. I had the nearly same system in my 2006 SRX. The interior left a lot to be desired too. If I am paying nearly $100K all in I would expect better. In the end the 40K premium was too much to swallow and I had issues with previous Caddys in my past. The Lincoln Mark LT and the Explorer I have had were trouble free in comparison. The low 12 second passes I saw on youtube from some of you guys also helped a bit ;D. Of all the cars I have owned (I have owned quite a few) The SHO is the best bang for your buck I have ever had in a car. I enjoy driving it every day, and as for the touch panel and the interior buttons now that I know where everything is I actually like it now. Sorry for the rant but if it doesn't say BMW, Audi or Mercedes Car and Driver and Consumer reports have noting good to say. Just my 2 cents.
A different opinion
Although he didn't have the PP lol.
