Funny that the old V6 SHOs were actually faster than the V8s. I think because they were lighter.

Front-drive V8s can't be too common (although I wouldn't be too surprised if Cadillac made a few).

Oh yeah, that's about all Caddy has made for the past 20 years.

Yeah, Olds made a few FWD V8s too. The late-70s Rivieras, for example, and the Aurora.

I would have liked the Olds Aurora more if they hadn't totaly screwed up the styling, I valet parked for a summer job once, that was the most ergonomicaly uncomfortable and eye-stingingly ugly thing I ever saw or drove, hands down, too bad a great engine went to waste on it

I hear the front seats in them were real butt-pinchers.

My problem was the A-Pillar was in the perfect conk-your-noggin position when getting in and out, and the view from the drivers seat was akward because of the way it sloped in at a curvy angle, also, it has fugly factory rims, taillights that look like a semi-molten neon blob, cancerous looking headlights, and a not-to-impressive tan color. I only had to drive it twice, and that was plenty, the verdict - It was designed by crack-addled chimps

Well, it was a contemporary GM car, so that makes sense.

Considering it was from the same division that once had cars like the Toronado, 442 and Cutlass in it's lineup, it was sickening, I"d take a rusty late 70's Delta 88 over that thing any day

Heh, I'd take a rusty late '70s Delta 88 over a lot of things. That would be a lot of fun.
I used to have a green '72 Delta 88 that was beat all to hell, but had a great engine (only 72,000 miles). It was solid and rust free, but covered in dents and dings (it belonged to my late grandfather, who drove like he was blind). I got it after he died, then my parents needed money and sold it for $1000 bucks to a guy they knew (I was a teenager at the time). Last I heard of the car, some black guy in a town near me had put 18" rims and a stereo in it and was cruisin' all over.
I sure do miss that car.

I just want a car that has 4 cleary-recognizable corners, a flat roofline, quad headlights, RWD, and gobs of torque, the rest is negotiable..............

saw a '94 SHO for sale for $3800 and only 86k miles... should I pick it up? I'm not a big fan of FWD,
but would like to drive it in the snow and haul the family around if I have to...

Silly question, but it's been much on my mind: Is SHO prounced as an acronym ("Show"), or is it S.H.O.?

I had a teenage girl come into my work a few weeks back asking me if I could take a look at her "sho car". thats what she called it. I had no idea what she was talking about until I went outside and saw the Taurus :P

I had never heard of the SHO until several years ago when I first subscribed to Car and Driver, and people were writing them letters about the SHO. The section of letters was titled, "Say It Ain't SHO", so as a result I've always pronounced it as "Show", but I've been wondering lately if that's right or not.

#38, "Oh, so you've got a Taurus show car huh? *cough**cough*ricebitch*cough**cough*."
Well, that'd be my reaction anyway. Then I'd feel really stupid when I went outside. :)
