yeah Ford is really amping up their game. They're in a much better position than GM or Chrysler. Just going on their website (Ford - Cars, SUVs, Trucks & Crossovers | Ford Vehicles) you really get the feeling that they're putting in their best.

365hp for the SHO is awesome.. I'd totally drive one.

Now, do you actually mean Ford the company, or some guy in his garage working on his Ford?

Hey, don't be hating on the Odessey. Look up the one Lap of America Honda Odessey. I agree the SHO is sweet, but the problem is the fwd that curses the roads today. If only the SHO was rwd.... I would trade up right now. And yes, I am the F-Body Lover, but I got love to spare.

Yeah, but the GT500KR is not a Ford, it is a Ford-backed car from Shelby. 365HP from a twin-turbo 6 isn't too bad, and I'm glad they made it an all wheel drive car. I'd consider buying a 6-speed model potentially. Reminds me a bit of the Mazdaspeed6 only more powerful

And by 35 Hwy for the ford explorer I hope you meant to say City and ford Escape Hybrid, the Explorer barely manages 20 on the highway

The KR makes 540hp.. the GT500 Super Snake with the Kenne Bell Supercharger makes 750hp. The SHO is well done. 365hp is a healthy number, and it wont scare a casual buyer away.

The SHO should get over 30 MPG. There is alot of "New" tech in these ecoboost engines that NONE of the jap manufactures are using yet. Ford Fusion hybrid is also the best hybrid in its class over the toyotas and hondas
