[Shotimes] Ford Sport Sedans (or lack thereof) was: another loss

[Jeff Costantino]

I came to the realization that I'm buying a used M3 when I can afford
it. Unfortunately, it looks like I have a leaking/smoking <something or
other> on the passenger's side and need new tires ASAP... My M3 may be a
ways off...

I have to agree wholeheartedly with Ron on this. Ford's lineup right now
is 
miserable in this department. Four SUV's and not one decent performance 
sedan???? WTF??

I'll be graduating college next year and I intend to buy a 4-door sports

car, like the SHO. I wish, I wish that Ford would drop a SHO engine in
the 
current Taurus... personally, I love the body style and they have some 
great paint colors now. I'm holding my breath that the Ford 500 will
have 
some sort of performance engine option. Why not a Taurus SVT?? This just

doesn't make sense to me.

The Marauder is too big for my taste, the Focus SVT is too small, and
the 
insurance on a Mustang is atrocious here in the city...  and the stangs 
aren't nearly as practical as the SHO. I could buy an LS V8, but I can't

justify spending that kind of money on a car that isn't exactly what I 
want. The WRX is a decent option, but I'm a loyal Ford buyer and it
would 
kill me to drive another brand, especially an import.

The way things look right now, I'll be keeping the '93 SHO, trading in
my 
'97 GL for a '99 SHO and holding tight with those two until something 
better comes along.
