The Ford Taurus SHO: The First American Sport Sedan - The Cheat Sheet
If you wanted to go fast in a four-door, you’d have to break the bank for premium priced European offerings from BMW, Mercedes or Audi. Domestic automakers never tried to compete with the Europeans in an already well-established segment, perhaps in fear of embarrassing themselves. But nobody ever stopped to consider John, a father of three children with a notorious lead foot. Each day on their route to school, John was continually embarrassed at the same stop light by four teenagers crowded in a 5. 0 liter Mustang GT. When he caught sight of the car in the rearview mirror, John sheepishly tried to sink down in his 1987... But the heckling never ceased, and each day those snarky teenagers left John standing still at the stoplight. His 15-year-old son was losing confidence in his old man and no longer looked up to him, and young Max came home from school with a colored drawing of his father’s Tempo surrounded in cloud of tire smoke. On the verge of severe depression, John was determined not to embarrass himself in front of his children for the fourth time this week. Source: www.cheatsheet.com
