The Ecoboost(Duratec) Is a Porsche design who sold it to Cosworth who sold it to Ford, Its going to be a Stellar engine. No Bullshit I'm going to drop one in my 97 T/A WS6. Ford is going to put this engine into the Mustang eventually so parts are gonna be cheap.
P.S. I'm a Ford guy, **** G.M.

I like the AWD idea. I would really like to buy a rear wheel daily driver, but on my budget, I can only afford one nice (late model) driver. RWD stuff is great 9 months out of the year, but I have to get to work the other 3 months too.
Ford's use of AWD on the new SHO is definitely a factor for people like me who see snow and want the edge that a FWD or AWD car gives you.
The G8 is a car built for speed that doubles as a family sedan. The SHO seems to be a family sedan that is built for speed. A better comparison for the SHO would be the BMW 3.0L turbo 5 Series, or maybe one of the Audi sedans. They're more expensive, but they were all family sedans first. Not the case with the G8.

I drive a G8 GT every day, I have two kids and I would hardly call it mainly a performance car lol. Its an excellent family car that happens to handle, stop and go like a car that costs nearly twice as much. Thats not just my opinion either, auto writers dont throw the BMW 5 series comparisons lightly. Plus 24mpg on trips with regular fuel isnt hard to take either, I would consider a new camaro as a car 'built for speed' first, certainly not a G8. No compromises packing my family in the thing for a two week trip thats for sure, done it.
Me too, they all look good on paper
