[Shotimes] If Ford Asked you to build the next Taurus SHO

[Mark Kelley]

I'll admit I'm a bit hesitant about the styling as well.  However, until I
see the it "in the flesh" and not just a drawing, I'm withholding final
judgement.

Debbie says (and she LOVES her SHO) that the Future is UGLY.  I can see a
lot of the Cadillac in it and I HATE the Caddy styling

Here's an interesting little blurb about the SVT Futura I found on the web:

It relates to this very topic.

That jives with what I've heard.  I read your post as "SVT going away".

There are rumors of an SVT Futura, which is based on the Mazda 6.  The 6 is
awavailble with AWD in Europe and it's rumored that the SVT version will
have AWD and the new 3.5L Duratec.  Again, just rumors.

I heard it was being pulled due to low sales of SVT contour, and focus
models. the lightning will remain and so will the cobra but not for another
year or so for the L and 2 years for the cobra.

i know a few guy that work at the local ford plant and the rumor is fairly
old from what i understand. i don't think svt is going away so much as it's
being reworked to be similar to mopar.
