@stirange They discontinued it. This car isn't showing it's age at all, except for maybe the infotainment system. This car isn't a 20 year old broken down car with fading paint, it looks brand new! A 2018 Taurus is only 4 years old, sure you might be used to seeing that body style but I disagree with the statement the reviewer keeps saying, "showing its age" that just isn't true.

Just sent mine back home for timing and water pump. Doesn't need a pump but since my '13 has 113k on it and they're going in to do the timing chains anyway, I might as well just to be safe. I'm driving my mom's 2006 Jaguar X-type and I miss my car :(. I'm over the cheap looking tan, only driven by grandparents interior and the shitty fake wood trim and I'm getting annoyed just thinking about it. Plus it's summer and my ass sweats.

As a proud owner of a 2018 SHO, in my opinion its not showing its age and with its burgundy velvet metallic paint, I have yet to run across another one in my color. She is strong, a tank. and I still get compliments on its looks. Big ass trunk, 25mpg on the highway and that's with a tune with meth. So please don't mock the MPG. And as far as reliability your spot on. I also have a 2103 SEL AWD, 162,000 miles that I've owned since 2014, I only had one check engine light, and a water pump change, original PTU and transmission,,, just keep the fluids changed and these cars easily go to 200,000 miles. These cars are built tough.

never used to like ford until i got used 2008 Taurus limited. It drives so damn good, exceptional handling, u name the feature and it has it and that too for 2008 model. drives very smooth.Probably largest legroom I have ever seen in any sedan and that too with biggest trunk space. I underestimated ford but not anymore. Loving my vehicle.

The newer years of the Ford Taurus look like modernized versions of the 08 models, and that’s honestly perfectly fine. The Taurus looks completely morderán compared to even new cars on the road today. I don’t consider myself to be a diehard Ford fan but the Taurus and specifically the SHO catches my eye.

Dated? The current Dodge Charger has been around a few years longer and still selling strong. Yeah, I kinda wished Ford had done a top to bottom rethink of the Taurus for 2016 but it's still a good looking car to me. The SHO makes the Taurus a sedan that never needs an apology. Once you've experienced that speed and as a driver or a passenger -- a stunned passenger -- you never think about dated this and dated that again.

Bernard Turner that never gets old, does it? LOL. That's why I volunteer to be the designated driver on a road trip. First off, I wouldn't want to endure a 200 mile trip in ANY other car but my Taurus, but I really like surprising car snobs who think Honda and Toyota can do no wrong. We stopped at a gas station about 1 hour into the trip -- beautiful summer evening -- and nobody wanted to get out and stretch. That's a sincere compliment.

Leslie White Like Martin said, the fullsize sedan market in the US is dead. It doesn't make financial sense for them to import the Chinese Taurus. It's only been kept around as long as it has due to fleet sales, but with more and more police departments moving to the Explorer based Police Interceptor Utility, it is not long for this world. It will be gone by 2020 with the Flex when they kill off the D3 platform and redesign the Explorer.

Great review of the Ford Taurus SHO. I had almost forgotten this car existed until I looked it up today, still very attractive despite its nearly 10 year old design. Over 350 horsepower on tap. Roomy interior. My full-size choice would still be the Chrysler 300C Hemi, but the Taurus SHO is still green eyes. The money is in SUVs and trucks for the moment, but with gas slowly creeping up to beyond $3 a gallon, Ford may find out that they have shot themselves in the foot by discontinuing their sedan line if they choose to continue on with those plans. Let's see if FoMoCo plays it smart.

kendodubbag72 One of the best ways to build your credit is with a secured credit card. If you don't mess that up, next year apply for a standard credit card. If you do well with that for a year, you can go to dealer and they'll work with you to find someone to finance you on an SHO. The rate won't be ideal but way better than a buy here pay here. You can find a well maintained 2014 in the low 20s now. My fear is that 2018 is the last we'll see of the SHO and then the used ones will get scarce. Don't let that happen to you 😁.

4/2/18, I have a 2015 Taurus LTD/awd, 288hp; the only difference b/w the SHO engine & mine is mine's not turbo. Believe me when I tell you, mine gets up & goes, you're doing 80 on the hwy & not even feeling it. My car's ~$6k less than the SHO. Also, you want the higher profile wheels (255/45/R19) instead of the wheels shown, more sidewall is better. Keeping the same basic design is a good thing, it cuts retooling costs & provides for a good parts aftermarket when the time comes. 2018 is basically the same as 2010; that's why the VW Beetle was so successful. I might add that my last car was a 2002 Cadillac DTS, I kept (nickel & dime-ing) that pos for 13 years b/4 it finally peeted out.

I will always drive a Taurus my first car was a 2001 Ford Taurus SE then I picked up a 2002 Ford Taurus at 94,000 miles and have been loving it since the start. Great 300,000 mile cars the 00’s models. Wanting to upgrade to a 2019 SHO version eventually. Too bad they are being discontinued.

I have a strange love for the Ford Taurus. all of them, they have a great history and also always have been really reliable. myself has 2, a 99 and 07 both Vulcans. not very powerful but reliable as hell. and I think the current Taurus is by no means outdated. I love how it has a bigger more muscle look over sporty. I think some minor touches and a 10 speed auto and maybe get some more power out of the SHO and fix the pricing and I think the Taurus will continue to sell.

Thanks for the great review. Very helpful because I'm pretty sure I'm going to lease a 2018 SHO. The other sedan I've been considering is the Chevy Impala which is more spacious and better looking (imo) but of course can't match the performance of the SHO, even with the sports trim. I also researched the Chrysler 300c with the V8 but it's priced out of my league. You're right that the remaining American full sized cars are dinosaurs. Ford has now discontinued the Taurus to focus on where the money is - trucks and suvs,

I'm torn about upgrading to a younger model, like this one, but my car has been a good car so far, no major repairs just average maintenance. Maybe I just keep it until it no longer makes financial sense....but, the SHO sure looks nice.

Looking at the alcantara on the wheel that's a SHO PP with the better gear ratio and the minor weight reductions. After putting in Sport, find the hidden TC button and hold button and break for 5 seconds. Fully disables advacedtrac which makes it noticeably even more fun. Only possible on the rarer SHO PP.

Johnny Skies I'm too biased. The SHO is the only choice. It's just personal taste but there is not a better looking or bigger bang for the buck out there. It's not just the speed, it's the ride quality. I have no dread of the long road trip any more. I can't see why I would want something else.

I went with the Taurus because I am old school and like large ( by today's standards) vehicles. I do a lot of highway, long distance driving and the Taurus is bank vault quiet and rides very well. Performance is effortless, fuel economy is not bad considering the weight and power of the car. Older designs also tend to be more reliable than ones that switch every couple years. I've had 54,000 trouble-free miles, not even a squeak or rattle is present. My only minor complaints are the interior center stack. It takes up a lot of usable space and visibility is not the best. If I were you, take both out for a LONG drive and see which you like the best.

If you're comparing the SHO vs the Fusion Sport, the SHO wins in about every category. I was honestly disappointed in the Sport. Thought it might be the replacement for the SHO, but the way they have the car geared makes it slower stock to stock and mod to mod.

That car is absolutely beautiful 😍😍 I love that color! I think the car only shows it's age on the infotainment system, other than that it still looks brand new. This guy makes it sound like this car has been around for 40 years, GUY this body style is only what, 8 years old? Not even close to "showing it's age". I disagree completely.

Love my 2013 Taurus SEL. This 2018 SHO looks good, but those 'flower power' wheels have got to go. I'd like to see the SHO grille on all future Taurus models . I'd buy the Limited version next time, don't need AWD or the horsepower of the SHO.

Why does everything have to redesigned so much? This car has clean lines, no fad type stying, vents, scoops, wings blah blah blah. Its a quick family sedan with four doors and big trunk that gets the job done for a good price.

Has anyone figured out the target demographic for this car? The Limited seems to be the most popular trim level. I see mostly well-dressed late 30s - 40s men in them. But you might see anybody in one. I was at a car wash and saw a 20 something in a sinister black SHO. He had a baby seat in the back but he told me it was an inside joke for when he took it racing.

Most people that I see drive them are like myself. 40's-50's something average joes. Around my part, the SEL seems to be the most common. However, when a dealer gets and SHO on the lot, it's sold within days. I don't know who buys them. I honestly can count on one hand how many 6th gen SHO's I have seen on the road.

Ford needs to change its emblem because it looks old and outdated plus the interior on this looks similar to the younger models. I think what will make that center console look good would be a Tesla size touchscreen stereo. The vehicle does look nice overall....on the outside

Does anybody know why Ford had Ford Australia design and develop a new Ford Taurus for production in China but has not introduced it into the USA. In China it is also named the Taurus. Same size vehicle but a new design. Ford has stopped production in Australia but still retains its about 1,500 design staff in Melbourne Australia that work on new designs for Ford for production around the world. Are they getting ready to stop production in the USA. It will have more of a European influence I assume. We never saw it in Australia. It is not going to be sold in Australia to replace the Australian Falcon. Same size. Very confusing to me. Could they simply be allowing Ford China to sort out all production bugs before it is sold to the world?

The new version is referred to as the "SHOW" the older versions were "S-H-O". If you look at the badging you can see they no longer have the periods separating the letters and in all advertising from Ford where it's said they call them "shows" now. But realistically its whichever way you want.
