Ford Taurus SHO gets Esquire 2010 car of the year award

Ford Taurus SHO

It looks as though the Ford Taurus SHO has success guaranteed, with the car already being named Esquire magazine’s 2010 car of the year. The categories for the award are a good drive and handling with speed, attractive bodywork (for the stare factor) and a reasonable price point.

The magazine apparently had a test drive, but in its article didn’t include the other contenders for the prize, so we don’t know who the Taurus was up against. Driving impressions were not part of the article, but from the press release we read:

We had three main criteria in selecting the Esquire Car of the Year,” explained David Granger, editor-in-chief. “The vehicle needed to be a pleasure to drive and be capable of shortening your breath when you slam down the pedal. It needed to be gorgeous and aggressive, capable of eliciting stares and gawks. And it needed to be attainable – a vehicle that most men actually can buy and drive. The new Taurus SHO nailed all of these parameters.”
