HokieSHO Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Just picked mine up yesterday. White platinum tri-coat with PP and pretty much all the other options worth getting. I'm coming from a Mazda RX-8 which I've owned since 2004, and this is my first automatic car since 1989 (other than a 2 year period that I also owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee over 10 years ago). The woman in the finance department said that a Taurus was her first car as an adult, to which I replied this is my first adult car! So far I'm loving the car - great balance between power, sportiness (for a big tank!), and comfort. Still find myself reaching for a clutch pedal every now and then though!

SHOdded Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Welcome to the SHO community! Is this your first SHO? What persuaded you to get one of these beauties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieSHO Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks for the welcomes. I was looking along the lines of a G37 or BMW (3or 5 series) or Raptor (go figure, right?), but I've always been an SHO fan plus it's made right here in the good old USA. A buddy of mine had an older model (he actually has a Raptor ordered at the moment). It's bigger than what I need but they don't make a 300+ HP Fusion SHO! Also, around here the G's and Bmw's are a dime a dozen. I prefer something I don't see on every street corner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Lots of Acuras, Lexuses, BMWs and Mercedes around here too. Starting to see an occasional sprinkling of Cayennes Thankfully I stick out like a sore green thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojomofo21 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Welcome fellow NOVA member. I can tell you I have only seen 1 other sho Taurus the whole year I have lived here. If I had a dollar of every BMW or Mercedes I saw I would be rich! Sent from my iPhone while I should be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
