2010 Ford Taurus SHO: Check This Car Out!

2010 Ford Taurus SHOAlthough Ford is one of my least favorite brands of cars, I have to say that when I saw the new 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, I have to say that I drooled a little bit. This car is absolutely beautiful in all aspects and while I think that the original Ford Taurus looks like a pill, I have to say that this newer, fresher and sportier version is actually something that I might consider buying. Ford promises that the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO will reduce fuel consumption and the performance will be increased … we’ll have to see about that.

The cool thing I think about the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO is the fact that it is powered by a 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 engine that is coupled with a six-speed 6F55 SelectShift transmission and an All-Wheel Drive System, 2010 Ford Taurus SHO may outputs 365 hp at 5,500 rpm and 350 ft.-lbs. of torque at 3,500 rpm. Do I need to say more?

Of course I do! The price should be just under $40,000 – which for a car of this status, it is pretty freakin’ good!

Ford Motor’s Impact on the US Economy has always been huge. Since the Ford Model T came out in 1908 Ford has always influenced the US economy. Back in the early 1900’s it created thousands of jobs for people all across the country. In Detroit over ten percent of the economy is influenced by Ford and the auto industry.

Ford Motor’s Impact on the US Economy goes far deeper than just cars. Since several industries depend on companies like Ford, they can get greatly impacted as well. For example the steel industry and electronics industry’s get hit hard if anything happens to Ford. This is because they supply millions of stereos and speakers amongst other electronics for the cars. Even the steel industry gets affected because of all the metal used for the cars.
