OK, so the Taurus SHO took a few years to arrive, and there was no manual at first.



Small correction. The SHO was available only with a manual transmission when it came out in 1989. Four years later in 1993 an automatic version became available, tripling yearly sales volumes.

IIRC, the auto SHO was also slightly retuned in the suspension to give a little bit more compliance than the hard-edged 5-speed. I was subscribed to Automobile and C&D at the time, and I remember both rags talking about how much they liked the ATX.
