slideoil Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I have to say... respect to the previous generation SHO's... but Every time I seen an older generation Taurus, I find myself amused. People look at my car and say "THAT is a TAURUS?" I have the bland styling of the rent-a-car fleet history of the Taurus to thank for that. Am I the only one that thinks like this?

MNRubyRed2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I've heard that from people too, but I think it has more to do with the fact that the new cars are so much bigger and more 'shapely'. I've actually had people say that my 2010/2013 SHO looks to good to be a Taurus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHOdded Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I think the Taurus has settled into a niche, but when it was first introduced almost 30 years ago, it was considered anything but bland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeB Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 People are CONSTANTLY commenting on my car & sparking up conversations about how much better it looks compared to the old ones (just the Taurus in general, most people don't even understand the SHO part :RpS_sneaky:) I work at a Napa & the Taurus is debadged so people are always asking what kind of car it is then are surprised when I tell them. In my opinion, it is only a few small details that make certain Taurii stand out tho: the wheels (20" option for '10) & having the whole car clean on a sunny day for the most part. Other Taurii with standard wheels don't stand out nearly as much to me & the metallic paint (mine is Tuxedo Black) really shines in the sun. And the new interior, well, that's a whole nother discussion lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slideoil Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm with you on the tux black in the sun. I guess now that I think more about when the Taurus was first introduced, it was a good looking car at the time. Makes me wonder if the current Taurus will be considered bland in 20 years.

SHOdded Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I really like the look of this Gen SHO, especially with the mesh grill in place (& hood vents too!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st-4th GEN were built here in ATLANTA and ALL OF THE SHO WERE BUILD HERE. I love the looks of the 2nd GEN SHO there a lot of them still here. I like how they looked drifferent from the standard taurus.
