Saw this in the paper this morning. The brief mention of the SHO is only his opinion but it's still encouraging to hear.
A:[/b] Futura first. The Ford Futura will bow in the '06 model year. Also a midsize
sedan, it will be slightly smaller and less expensive than the Five Hundred. Ford
says rather than its current practice of offering a single midsize model at
different trim and price levels, it will offer a pair of models in different size, trim
and price levels to attract more midsize buyers.
As for the Five Hundred, some see a Passat likeness, but the resemblance is less
in person than in photos.
As for a performance version of the Five Hundred or Futura, be patient. Taurus
didn't offer the SHO in the first model year, either. The goal with an all-new car
is first to ensure initial quality production before adding variations.
