2010 Ford Taurus SHO, Driven
2010 Ford Taurus SHO, Driven-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:18

Esquire’s gotten the scoop on every automotive outlet, getting Ezra Dyer behind the wheel for an exclusive test drive of the . So, what’s everyone’s favorite hired driving gun think?

Well, as “first drives” go, this one’s pretty limited in details. What ol’ Ezra says is

“Floor the gas on the SHO and you’re smoothly squeezed back in the seat as the motor builds power, the turbos whistling faintly in the background. The all-wheel-drive system and six-speed automatic put the power down with no wheelspin. It’s all very refined. This is deceptive speed, the kind where you look down at the speedometer and realize that ten seconds with your foot to the floor will amount to jail time if you ever get caught. The SHO is a sleeper - a vehicle you can live with every day that happens to have a secret under the hood.”

You can read the rest over at , but frankly, there’s not much else there in the way of a drive review — although that’s usually enough of a driving impression to get the buff books who’ve already driven the new sleeper to let loose with their own first drive salvo. That is if there are any auto buff books left out there with no fear of losing advertising dollars. We guess we’ll have to see. And you’ll have to wait until next week to see our first drive impression right after we’ve had a chance to take the ecoboost-ed sedan out for a spin. Stay tuned. [via ]

I Drove This 107 MPG Version Of Gordon Murray's City Car And It Was Fascinating
At a mass-market auto show in America, it’s pretty difficult to find anything that’s genuinely weird in the ways I tend to like: small, strange, slow, and ideally with peculiar engineering. Happily, down in the basement, I found something that came close enough, and took it for a spin: a...

For $67,500, Would You Buy This 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS... From A Junkyard?
For $67,500, Would You Buy This 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS... From A Junkyard?
Normally you’d expect to buy your Ferrari from some chichi showroom, but today’s 308 is offered by a Porsche parts palace. Maybe that means they’ll part with it for a song! Would you date Lindsay Lohan? How about Charlie “Winning” Sheen? Either of those folks is a walking—sometimes stumbling—train wreck,...

For $15,000, Could This Chevy-Powered 2000 Jeep Cherokee Be The LS Thing You Need?
For $15,000, Could This Chevy-Powered 2000 Jeep Cherokee Be The LS Thing You Need?
Today’s Jeep rocks a Chevy V8 and is named for a Native American Nation, you just don’t get much more American than that. Let’s see if you’d be willing to spend a chunk of American money to buy it. Yesterday’s reminded me of Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles singing “I’m...

For $28,500, Could There Still Be Life Left In This 1990 BMW M3?
For $28,500, Could There Still Be Life Left In This 1990 BMW M3?
Today’s E30 M3 needs some lovin.’ That’s because it’s had four owners and 190,000 miles in its past, and it shows it. Let’s see if this worn-in classic has a price that you could love as well. So it turns out that junkyards are NOT the ticket to getting a...

The 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S: Turbos Aren't For Crazy People Anymore
The 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S: Turbos Aren't For Crazy People Anymore
Porsches with turbochargers used to be terrifying. So much so that older 911s were frequently derided—or praised, depending on how you look at it—as “.” Now, they are the easiest way to go really fast, something that dawned on me as I drove a Carrera S with two turbochargers down...
