2010 Ford Taurus SHO, Driven
2010 Ford Taurus SHO, Driven-May 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 ]

The seller of today’s Lexus says it was used as a demo vehicle for a window tinting business. It’s loaded and in great shape, but will its price make you believe it has no business asking so much? There are certain truths to which we almost all adhere. I...

Its polarizing hourglass-shaped grille hasn’t helped in the slightest. But with sporty coupes like the 2021 Lexus RC F...
