I've been familar with this car since it was out in the 90's with the Yamaha engine, but I just saw a commerical for the new one(Which I knew they were making).
But the commericial announcer called it the Taurus SHO(Pronounced like show). I ALWAYS thought it was S.H.O, each letter read individually. I've never heard anyone pronounce it as if 'show' was a single word, always just say S H O.

Yeah, it was always S...H...O. When people used to pronounce it Sho, that always annoyed me. Just like it annoyed me in the commercial.

Pronouncing it as a word is stupid. It is in all caps because it is an acronym. (Of course, sometimes acronyms become words - scuba, laser, sonar, etc.)
Is the Lincoln MKT the "Lincoln Mickt"? Would a BMW 325is be the "three twenty five is" (is what?)?
Taurus Es Aych Oh.

This Taurus "show"
is as fast as my G8 GT according to the magazines, and it gets the same or better gas mileage, with AWD and acres of interior space. But it doesn't do anything for me.
Maybe that's just my RWD bias???
