I remember when Ford was getting ready to bring the SHO back they actually had a bunch of the guys from the SHO group forums go to Detroit for a group interview on what they would want if Ford brought back the SHO. They gave all their feedback to Ford and when they were able to post about it the number 1 question was will there be a manual transmission.... not a single person at the focus group brought it up and Ford launched the new at the time Taurus SHO as automatic only. Would Ford have actually put a manual in? Who knows but the guys on the SHO forum were livid no one suggested it.
