I like the even stance, don't look like the ass end is jacked up. It would be nice not to have to change springs for a change.

I saw that today Mark!  I wish there were more real life pics. I hope the SHO gets some tasteful features, and won't sit as high as an f150.

I like it (though I'm not sure if I'd get another Taurus to replace my SHO down the road), but I suspect that the fascias will be slightly different in the US vs China.

The styling is similar to like we have currently, except its gone under lipo to get rid of the puffiness the current car has some from some angles from its being on a CUV platform.

In my opinion. It's terrible. It's too bland. It's just a stretched fusion. The rear end is especially bad, the tail lights look like they came off a Jag XF. I'd take a 2015 model over this any day.

Too bland?





And the Fusion thrown in for good measure



IMO the new Taurus doesn't look that different from the current one and improves upon it. Some colors don't show off the lines of the car that well. The rear is slightly boring, but I'm not going to be looking at that most of the time anyways.

If it looks like that I'm telling a new SHO is in my future. I think Taurus is one of the most underrated cars today I think this design gets panned to much by car mags. But if that what the new one looks like count me in.

Loving the new grill, but the rear is like the designers were at work late Friday and said "screw it, slap the Fusion taillights on so we can go grab some beers".

Now if that conceptual drawing of the SHO with the badass front splitter is real, I may forgive them, LOL.

Did anyone notice the non-SHO is getting the 2.7L @ 325hp? Hopefully we're looking at a 400hp+ 3.5L (please dear god make it longitudinal this time) in the SHO.

Don't get me wrong. I do like it, I just wish it didn't have to have the same design language as the fusion. And silver probably isn't the best color to show off a cars design. Hopefully Ford will do something very special for the SHO. Highly doubt it will have a longitudinal engine though.

Hopefully next SHO packs the Raptor's 450HP+ engine and the Focus RT's AWD system.  That would be awesome.

No more fender badge...I liked it.
Lower grille loses definition now to me also...almost too wide or something.

I do like that the rear 1/4 doesn't seem to be as huge and plain as current models.

Actually a little dissapointed with the look...that could all change with a stout 3.5 setup though.
