Forgot the other taurus I had. 93 SHO. That thing was a blast and had it been vailable as a stripped down taurus, it would have been a great car. The yamaha DOHC V-6 just begged to be run to it's 7400 rpm rev limiter. Driven conservatively (if you could), good running ones could get close to 30 mpg. I suspect an agressive hypermiler might squeeze 35 out of it. Unfortunately, they all came loaded which meant all that fancy stuff stopped working like power seats, climate control system variable speed fan and leaky sunroof.

I finally sold this for the same reason as the dodge. failed emissions and i didn't want to sink the money into it to get it to pass.
