SHO dying breed?

Read a few articles about Ford scrapping the SHO line for 2015. I don't understand why Ford didn't add better features to the 2014 line-to me this car has so much potential and I'm sure if these cars came already tuned from the factory the sales would have been much better. The 2014 model should have had better LED front lights lower rear end and a more powerful ecoboost engine. If Ford does scrap the sho line I wouldn't be worried in the least-I am keeping my car because I love to drive it and as this car remains a mystery that gives me reason to love it even more! I'm out!

in a way i would be happy.  the SHO is one of the best kept secrets in the "big sedan with beef" segment as i call it.

its one of few cars that can do it all.  haul people/luggage has luxo and comfort and when you spool it up it can and does hang with 99% of rolls on the street.

if i do anything it will be to get a 13/14 to replace my 11 when the time comes.

Seems to be falling behind a tad, with what the car is marketed to compete with.

But, for what alot of us paid for ours...that's a different story. It is a lot of car for the post-incentive cost, or C/PO cost.

It is very much a niche car, though. That doesn't help it's long term prospects.

I was lucky to find one slightly used with 1700 miles for quite a bil less than a new one and my car still has a decent book value.

And here I was just mentioning to my wife the other day that my next car will probably be another Sho, but the next body style, like a 15 or 16, assuming it looked good.

The pics are confusing.  Fusion exterior, current SHO interior. 

I'd rather have this....

I think the Aussie's would be let down by our SHO, not that it isn't a great car.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

The fusion and SHO are kind of stepping on each others toes. They have the same amount of trunk space, rear leg room,but the fusion is lighter according to motor trend.

There no way the Fusion has as much trunk space as the SHO.The SHO trunk is huge! But that would be one of the last things I'd use to make a decision on a car.
