CONVENTION NEWS UPDATE
Convention 19 - Detroit/Dearborn, MI
More information to be posted soon!
| A Nice get together in Iowa | | | |
| The new 2010 SHO Plays (kind-of) in Peoria! | | | |
| The new SHO and Taurus were in Peoria, IL yesterday, and I got to see this version that is closer to what we will actually have coming off the production line.
Things I noticed:
the floor mats have SHO embroidered on them, and they are tiny, filling just the cutout flat portion of the floor. Will need a real mat to cover the rest of that carpet!
I finally found where they hide the button for the rear sunshade, under the flip cover just in front of the gear shift lever. Almost impossible to see unless you are in gear, and it works quick and neat.
The engine compartment cover has grown since the Chicago Auto SHOw, and now has the SHO and ecoboost logo's painted silver. Looks good, but I am sorry to see that the engineer lost most of the battle to have the cover be small and let us see more of the engine. Just some plumbing around the sides is visible now. Cover looks nice though, for those that love their engines to look like a plastic cover.
Wonder what it looks like underneath, I suspect we will know as soon as Kirk gets his and starts taking it apart next month.
I love the two-tone interior, and the inserts will hold you in well at the track.
Brake disks on the car we got were brown, showing someone was driving with some aggression! Who would ever do that? :)

| 2010 FORD TAURUS SHO NAMED ESQUIRE'S INAUGURAL "CAR OF THE YEAR" | | | |
|  FROM http://www.ford.com/about-ford/news-announcements/press-releases/press-releases-detail/pr-2010-ford-taurus-named-30509
DEARBORN, Mich., June 10, 2009 – Esquire magazine editors evaluated nearly a dozen significant new cars – using some unique subjective criteria – before naming the 2010 Taurus SHO as its inaugural Car of the Year. The article appears in the magazine's July issue, on newsstands today.
"We had three main criteria in selecting the Esquire Car of the Year," explained David Granger, editor-in-chief. "The vehicle needed to be a pleasure to drive and be capable of shortening your breath when you slam down the pedal. It needed to be gorgeous and aggressive, capable of eliciting stares and gawks. And it needed to be attainable – a vehicle that most men actually can buy and drive. The new Taurus SHO nailed all of these parameters."
Competing with some of the best luxury sedans in the industry, Taurus SHO was the editor's unanimous choice.
"The reason we care about the new Taurus can be boiled down to four words: Looks good, goes fast. With a 3.5-liter turbo V-6, dubbed EcoBoost™, you get V-8 power with V-6 fuel economy," said Esquire automotive correspondent, Ezra Dyer. "The SHO is a sleeper – a vehicle you can live with every day, that happens to have a secret under the hood."
The response from the Taurus team?
"We're thrilled and honored with this award," said Frank Davis, executive director, Ford North American Product Programs. "Taurus – and the SHO model honored here – are Ford's flagship sedans. We trust that customers will be equally impressed."
