While I do agree that it is rather big and on the heavy side I still think that Ford has come leaps and bounds.

You're referring to the number of times Ford has stuck the SHO name on a mass market sedan. I'm referring to the number of times the current chassis has been recyled with a new wrapper of sheet metal in the last ten years. And though Ford may have stuck an AWD system in the ancient chassis, it's still derived from a Volvo front driver and the engine is mounted transversely which is to say, incorrectly. That put's much of the ponderous weight over the front wheels which are already overburdened trying to change the direction of this barge. They should have called it the Plow. And the days of stuffing a hot engine into a grocery getter and proclaiming victory at the cash register are long gone.
