Since its put in a car that weighs nearly 4400lbs. Yea its a beast, its huge. The Evo isn't exactly fast either. Drive one hard and its pretty quick, the Taurus isn't at all. It handles like a 4400lb car with brakes that are way to small for any performance driving. Everyone says the Supras are pigs but Ford makes a sedan that weighs several hundred pounds more and makes about the same power and all of a sudden that's fast. Sorry but it takes more than a commercial and a decent engine to make something fast. I fully agree that it should have been put in the Fusion, that would have been a sweet car. This is marketed as a performance sedan but its not, its just a portly sedan with just enough power to keep up with itself. BMW has had engines making that kind of power in the 5 series for some time now, they're just as fast, nicer, and truly depicted as nothing more than a luxury sedan with the power to keep up. I'm glad Ford finally caught up to what they've been shooting at for years but its nothing more than the same old same in the market they're aiming at.
