Looking good.



Doh knew it wouldn't last, I don't like the back end. I think they could have done better than that.

Numbers for the EcoBoost are 365HP and 350ft-lbs of torque. The torque curve itself is more of a mesa

I cannot believe this is a North American car.  It is absolutely stunning inside and out.  Thank god they got rid of that ugly front grill. Good Job Ford.  Good Job.

Different strokes - I find the styling utterly bland and uninspired.  It's far from ugly - there's just nothing interesting about it.  Miles away from "Stunning!" IMHO.  But the power output and standard AWD definitely have my attention.  Here's hoping it handles well.

For reference, what would you consider a styling standout in this class?

You haz top classified info, FBI will pay you a little visit, ehehehehehehe.

I can only imagine, 3.5L V6 for the entry level, 3.5L V6 EB for the mid range model and Coyote V8 for the top range model...

Priced directly against a TL SH-AWD in the States.  That should be a great shootout.  The TL offers some more prestige (but still not BMW/MB/Lexus prestige), possible sharper handling (let's see how the SHO handles before we award that title) and an available 6MT (which I would like but 99% of buyers will ignore).  The Taurus SHO out-guns it by about 60 horsepower, offers twin-turbo midrange, and in my opinion looks much better inside and out.  Honestly, as total packages, they're very closely matched in my opinion.
