Chicago 09': 2010 Ford Taurus SHO Unveiled with 365 HP

All the months of speculation can now end...Ford has officially unveiled the 2010 Taurus SHO at the Chicago Auto Show.

The first Taurus SHO debuted in 1989 and after three generations it was killed 10 years later, but now its back and better than ever. The new Taurus SHO builds upon the recently unveiled Taurus, but features much more power thanks to the 365 horsepower EcoBoost V6 under the hood. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and all-wheel-drive is standard.

The 2010 Ford Taurus SHO will be available this summer wit a starting price of $37,995.

All-New 2010 Ford Mustang Officially Unveiled

Ford has officially taken the wraps off its all-new 2010 Ford Mustang.

The new Mustang features all-new styling that continues to draw cues from the original Mustangs and is more of a evolutionary redesign as it doesn't stray far from the design of the current generation.

The new Mustang will be offered in coupe, convertible or a coupe with a glass roof. V6 and V8 powered models will continue to be offered as well. The 4.6L V8 in the GT sees a modest power increase to 315 horsepower.
