For one of my classes i had to write an advocacy letter
(advanced composition)
i wrote to ford basically asking if they were going to bring back the SHO
well, i got a cheap answer :
Dear Mr. Bubolz,

We appreciate the time you have taken to contact Ford Motor Company.

Feedback from our customers is important to us, and helps us to provide higher quality vehicles and improved service to our customers. We recognize that we must meet the needs of the buying public if we are to be successful in today's competitive market.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.






:oogle:

Then we had to write a thank-you letter. Having been just thinking about my car, I came up with a great idea. I wrote to Yamaha thanking them for making the ever-so-beautiful 3.0L V6 DOHC SHO motor.
The reply:

Dear Mr. Bubolz,

Thank you very much for your heart-touching letter regarding Ford Taurus SHO and our 3.0L DOHC motor. We are all pleased to hear that our 16 years old motor is still working sturdily and taken good care by an owner like you who truly appreciate the virtue of the vehicle and the motor.

Our engineers are proud of our motor and your letter has encouraged them to continuously make the most efficient and robust engine in the world.

Thank you again for your kind letter and our very best wishes for your health, wealth, and happiness.





Now... who makes you want to buy a car?
Not only was i surprised to get a response from either company, but even more so when I saw the time and effort put into the one from Yamaha. Like Dan said, at least they did some research rather than copying and pasting the name in.
Yamaha's guy, Ken Ishibuchi even hand-wrote his signature in purple ink, drawing a cute little smilie after it.
Ford's woman, Colleen Rose Coventry, did not even sign her name. It's a printed copy, with initials versus the entire written name. Boo Ford. Yay Beer!

yay! lol. I think they should definatly make the sho motors again but redesign them so you dont spin rod bearings so easliy. Also make the MTX stronger bolted to a 3.5 v6 with optional Stages like mopar does.

why would ford actually bring back a sucessful car?
they have a habit of dumping sweet rides when they start to slow on selling....
i understand slightly
but the last i heard was there were 200,000 tauruses sold the last year of production... so... let's say 14000 to build the car
they sold for like... idk... ballpark 24000 new... just estimates...
they're still making a shizload of money... yet they dumped the taurus... they ARE brining it back though... although it's the five-hundred, just renamed...

but... they wouldn't bring back the sho...
it prolly wouldn't sell unbelievably well
other than in the sho community...

idk... just looking at ford's habits, the SHO will either never come back or it will... in like... forever... idk... just my opinion

I would prefer it not come back. I like the original SHO. Ford couldnt handle remaking the SHO.

I agree. They would make them way less reliable *stops and thinks* and anyone who's owned a SHO knows how reliable they are to begin with. At times

yea u know i think the same way a hipo tauri would be fine but deff not a sho


i dont even know about this... performacne sedans and sleepers are so 90's... it might be cool... but they learned in the 90's that they dont sell much better than the base models (often worse) and cost more to deveolp...

Face it, the SHO was the taurus that shouldnt have been... Honestly i think after they did the V8 and must have realized that they should have let it die after the V6 ran its course
