    hmm it doesn't look too bad. The headlights look a little ford falcon-esque. But what is eco-boost?!

    Is the EcoBoost the Turbo V6 Ford was talking about putting in the base model Mustangs a few months back?



    I like it honestly.

    Basically eco boost just allows them to use a smaller motor with more power, The eco boost motor is supposed to put out more tq then an N/A motor with one litre more displacement.

    It's only ugly because the previous SHO had one of the coolest looking engine bays ever.

    Ugly by comparison.

    The Taurus looks damn good though. Wow...never thought I'd say that.

    This Taurus is amazing! I can't believe I am saying that about a Ford..

    Who cares what the engine looks like! Its how it runs that matters.. The exterior of the car is what's supposed to look good, and this one does..

    Sometimes, I really appreciate a pretty engine bay.

    Look at Alfa Romeo's V6.

    You're right, just because they're ugly doesn't mean they're not awe inspiring lol

    By "ugliest", I'm assuming you mean "like every other modern engine on the American Market today". Car looks good tho. Actually, I like a lot of the Ford line right now and a lot of their 2010 models look promising. You'd think they passed Toyota and Honda in quality, reliability and customer satisfaction or something. Oh wait, they did. GO TEAM AMERICA!!! No, seriously, they'll go under maybe. or not.


    Pssssssft!!!! Zoom Zoom BOOM!!!!
