2010 FORD TAURUS SHO [those are 3 letters i haven't seen together in a while]

Specs
$38000
356 HP
15city/25hwy
'The first homegrown sedan to stand up to not only the japanese competition, but the german as well'

Excerpts:

"We were surprised as you are"

"This new SHO-comes from a copany thats in a far different place than the firm that designt the Taurus of your rental-car memory. Ford used to build Jaguars, Aston Martins, Land rovers, an Volvos. With all the premium brands except Volvo (and volvo most definitely on the auction block), the company is rapidly heading to a place in which its most advanced technological efforts aren't' directed toward an Asto V-8 or Range Rovers, but actual Fords. Imagine That"

Six cars that demand Superlatives:

"the most thirlling Jaguar Ever Built"

Jaguar XFR
Specs:
$80,000
510 HP, Supercharged 5.0 V-8
15city/21hwy
"The XF, with its old motor, was close to greatness. With the new 5.0 Liter V-8, its there."

"It wasn't just at extreme speeds that the new XFR took my breath away. At every speed, it was so absolutely smooth yet so completely posed to leap forward to new frontiers in acceleration that I began to wonder about my pulmonary system."
------
"The Fiercest Ass-Kicker in America"

Camaro SS

Specs:
$34,200
426HP, 6.2 Liter V-8
16mpg City, 24 MPGhwy
"Unbridled Aggression on four wheels"

"The wheels on the 2010 Camaro have barey hit Eighth Avenue when it egins. People start to stare and talk. The pretzel guy on Fifty-Seventh Street is gawking, mouth open. "How the hell did you get-" The light turns green and I go. Gun it a little. It rouars and punces. It feels like every other driver on the road should pay me rent.

------
"The Prettiest Miracle"

Audi S5
$51,400
354HP, 4.2 Liter Direct Invection V8
16city/24hwy
"The most beautiful car of the twenty first century"

"Its less expensive than a BMW 6, more practical than a Porche Carrera 4, and more stili****cally advance than a Mercedez Benz CLK- a vehicle equation that was never supposed to be possible. Lucky for us, beautiful mistakes happen"
---------
"The only Fuel Efficient Car for people who love driving"

BMW 335d
$44,000
265HP Twin-Turbo 3.0Litre inline 6
"Two stats that have never gone together: 40mpg and Zero to sixty in six seconds."

----------
"The greatest followup of the decade"
Nissan 370z
$30,000
332HP 3.7 Liter V6
18city/26hwy
"A Taut rear wheel drive racetrack that most men can actually afford"

"In terms of performance, mission and hardware, the 370z is right on top of the porsche cayman s. But its half the price."
--------
"The most Exhilerating American Car ever made"

Caddilac CTS-V
$60,700
556HP 6.2 Liter Super Charged V8
13city 19hwy
"The fastest V-8 production engine you can buy-One that can dust a porsche 911" [these guys been shytting on porsche all article LMAO]

"I stopped and let the traffice get ahead of me. Hit the gas and the rear end just shuddered. The Car didn't know wheter to shimmy right or shimmy left, so it did both before the tires gripped and the thing took off. I felt the same thing in a Mercedes S55 once: completely out of control"

Damn, that's a pretty badass list. And I didn't even know they made a new SHO.

I'm glad that they put the Jag XFR on there, that's such a slick car, especially that supercharged model.
