Actually Dodge/Chrysler was purchased by Fiat pre bailout.  Which if you look at the companies Fiat owns I was hoping that the European build quality and design would help relieve Mopar of the crap build quality and reliability..  I was never a Mopar fan but I did have my hopes for them...  Nope.  Same junk across the board...  GM...  No acceptable words that I can use here can describe their build quality....  And you have to wonder about a failing car company that took the bailout, paid some back, then decides to purchase another failing car company???  They purchased PSA group, ala Peugeot and renault...  Essentially buying it with our money...  Hmmm no GM here thanks....

Obviously Ford does listen and learn from their European counterparts on quality as I think my Taurus, even my little '08 Focus I had were very close in quality to my M3...

Just my two cents..
Sorry Officer, thought that sign was merely a suggestion for old folks...  My bad...

I was delivering to a Chrysler plant up until 2 weeks ago. The things they let there employees get away with at that facility was insane. It is no surprise to me there quality sucks

Got a buddy on a Denver suburb PD. They went to Ford w/3.5 EB.  I hope the police use spins off a lot of performance tweaks for us all.

Nice find DJ.   I was interested that no mention of the 1L EB engine was made.  I had understood it was to be offered on the Fiesta. Maybe that was for 2015.

Stems from the fact it's a Taurus?? WTF? Really, well now I looked at several cars before I decided on the SHO. The Audi S4, Cadillac CTS-V and the BMW 5 series (I'm not a fan of Chrysler products any more the last 2 I had literally fell apart). Okay price point first my SHO was $45K, The Audi was $65K + the BMW can't even get close to the performance I have with mine now with the exception of the M $120K lol. The CTS-V was $85K +. Has he even sat in an Audi S4? The buttons are mashed together and are all over the place. I nearly crashed my test drive looking for the driver aid controls. And cramped? Hello??? (I know the S4 is considered a mid size but the A6 isn't much better for interior room). I just couldn't get into the newer styling of the BMW so that didn't take long to make up my mind. Now the CTS-V I liked a lot, what's not to like right? 560bhp rear drive ect..... well the 40K premium was hard to swallow right out of the gate, and the nav system was outdated by like 10 years. I had the nearly same system in my 2006 SRX. The interior left a lot to be desired too. If I am paying nearly $100K all in I would expect better. In the end the 40K premium was too much to swallow and I had issues with previous Caddys in my past. The Lincoln Mark LT and the Explorer I have had were trouble free in comparison. The low 12 second passes I saw on youtube from some of you guys also helped a bit  ;D. Of all the cars I have owned (I have owned quite a few) The SHO is the best bang for your buck I have ever had in a car. I enjoy driving it every day, and as for the touch panel and the interior buttons now that I know where everything is I actually like it now. Sorry for the rant but if it doesn't say BMW, Audi or Mercedes Car and Driver and Consumer reports have noting good to say. Just my 2 cents.   

A different opinion ;) Although he didn't have the PP lol.

Im sorry but when I was shopping for a new car to replace my g6 I had my mind set a g37x sedan. Test drove it liked it. I went home did some price comparisons and ford came up on the screen. I clicked it just to see what kind of cars they had since I liked the new fusion and came across the SHO. I decided wth let me just see. Found one at the dealership and went to test drive it. Let me tell you IMO even the infiniti could not match how I felt riding in the SHO and the good thing about this car is that noone really has one around here. I have only seen one in my area and that was 5 months ago. This car is a perfect blend of comfort and a whole lot of performance. Infiniti g37x is ranked high by most reviewers well over what the Taurus was rated at but I dont see what the hell they are talking about I would take this car over the infiniti any day
