JZ150 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I ordered our SHO today. Orders can be placed but there are no dates yet. This is the perfect car for the wife and I. She likes the looks of the new Taurus and I get to have a performance car all in one car. Her lease is up this summer and I will sell the 335i and we will trim the garage from 3 to 2. 2010 SHO Ingot Silver with Black leather interior Package 402A 20" Wheels Multi-Contour Seats I am putting my faith in the fact that on paper this car looks like it will be awesome. I will be happy to have an all Ford garage again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZ150 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Congrats!!!!! I am very jealous!!! Did you get the performance package I don't remember the specific package #? The package we ordered doesn't allow for the performance package. I am not sure why but it doesn't. I am okay with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_A Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 . Is the order guide for the sho model available anywhere online? I got a copy from here: http://www.downsford.com/order_guides/2010...der%20Guide.pdf and here's a copy: 2010_Taurus_order_guide.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiommi Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Just got back from the Chicago Auto Show. Ford should fire whoever has been taking the promo shots of this car. It looks 100X better in person! They hit it out of the park on this one. Mine will be candy apple red now I just have to decide on 19 or 20 inch wheels.

I'm assuming premium fuel only for this engine...but is there anyone who knows for sure? My '93 SHO ran great on midgrade even tolerated regular, but has anyone seen a fuel recommendation for the ecoboost V-6 in print? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 My '95 ran like crap on anything but premium. I even got a check engine light running 89. I had to put octane booster in it so I could clear the code. Anyway, I think the ecoboost engines run on regular gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ150 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) As Pioneer said I think the Eco Boost runs regular fuel. The SHO is only 15 HP over the standard version. Edited February 23, 2009 by JZ150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, sounds promising...especially if you can find a dealer who won't try to make up for a whole year of low profits on one model.

NickF1011 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Looks like a 401A Rapid Spec with added nav system and maybe the performance package would do it for me. I really don't know if I want 20" wheels on a daily driver though. I like the overall style of the 19" wheel more also. Looks like the production mix is going to heavily favor the 402A Rapid Spec though, so probably won't be able to find what I want without factory ordering. Oh well, we'll see later this year.

chiefstang Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Has anyone heard any pricing information on the Eco Boost as a stand alone option on the SEL and Limited? Any guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Harbinger Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Has anyone heard any pricing information on the Eco Boost as a stand alone option on the SEL and Limited? Any guesses? It was my impression that the order guide that was posted here did not leave open the possibility of an EcoBoost, except in the SHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walstadm Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 For those of you lucky b@st@rds that have your SHO's on order, what is the expected delivery date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ150 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 For those of you lucky b@st@rds that have your SHO's on order, what is the expected delivery date? No dates yet and there are various estimates. Ford's site says June some think it may be late summer or early fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefstang Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 It was my impression that the order guide that was posted here did not leave open the possibility of an EcoBoost, except in the SHO. I did read that the Ecoboost was going to be available in the SEL, and Limited, and saw pics of the Limited with the split dual exhausts instead of being on one side of the car. Can't remember where I read it, but it was put out there. Maybe a late availability option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
