July 26, 201015 yr I know that this is a nitpick, but it annoys me that the Taurus S-H-O is now the Taurus "show". Seems a juvenile change to me.
July 26, 201015 yr Author I've always heard it referred to both ways... The "show" BS was never what Ford called it until now.
July 26, 201015 yr I know that this is a nitpick, but it annoys me that the Taurus S-H-O is now the Taurus "show". Seems a juvenile change to me. 20 years ago I remember people calling it 'show'...
July 26, 201015 yr Author The fact remains that it is an acronym for "Super High Output". Saying "show" just comes across as dumbed-down and tacky to me. But then, that's popular culture for you.
July 26, 201015 yr Mickey D's BK KFC J-Lo A-Rod Bennifer Brangelina Americans just don't have time to say whole words or properly enunciate things.
July 26, 201015 yr I Ford using "show" was rather dumb sounding as well. Then again Hyundai has embraced the mis-pronunciation of there whole brand.

July 26, 201015 yr Author Mickey D's BK KFC J-Lo A-Rod Bennifer Brangelina Americans just don't have time to say whole words or properly enunciate things. Yeah. That's where some of my disgust with my fellow countrymen comes from.
July 26, 201015 yr 'show' works well as a way to pronounce SHO...on the other hand, it's hard to pronounce 'SVO' or 'SVT' as a word... How about the Toyota trucks with the "TRD" decals? I pronounce that 'turd'... Edited July 26, 201015 yr by Cubical-aka-Moltar
July 26, 201015 yr How about the Toyota trucks with the "TRD" decals? I pronounce that 'turd'... Truth in advertising.
July 26, 201015 yr Funny, I call it the Taurus Ess Aytch Oh... and I say Kentucky Fried Chicken, not KFC. Of course, I also say Empowah and Control Specimen as well.
