i think it's neat they brought this car back... but it looks like they just put some new wheels and a bunch of ugly metal accents on the already butt ugly Ford 500.
i think the idea was good... but the final product... ehhhh

It's a neat idea because of nostalgia, but is nostalgia going to make that car profitable?

I dont think its meant to be profitable .... its like any other mudane sedan that gets injected with performance ( Lancer, Impreza, TL, Impala, ETC. ) the bread and butter is in all the lower trim models that get sold. The SHO will probably only account for maybe 4-5% ( and that's a high guess ) of all Taurus's sold. It's real mission is to draw peoples attention to Ford and when they relize they cant afford it and settle on lower trim.
