Podcast appearances and mentions of ford taurus sho

Many enthusiasts don't realize that the Alfa Romeo 164 and Saab 9000 share their underpinnings — with the Lancia Thema and Fiat Croma. They all ride on the Fiat Tipo Quattro (Type 4) platform, and in this episode, we discuss the their history and drive the three most powerful, quickest, and fastest FWD sport sedans of their era. === WATCH THE FULL REVELATIONS EPISODE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G71uIVvnzvw == This is a history less about their initial development, to the plethora of engine options, posh and/or aerospace-inspired interiors, styling, power, handling dynamics, and the pros and cons of platform sharing.  We kick things off with the platform's predecessors: the Tipo Zero, Tipo Uno, Tipo Dua, and Tipo Tre – go figure – all of which underpinned a variety of Fiats. Meanwhile, Saab had effectively been building cars on the same platform since the 40s before finally making something new for the Saab 99 during the late 60s, and then the 900 in late 70s (which was really just a revised 99). But when it was time for a shift upmarket in the late 80s, Saab needed financial help to create the 9000 after a merger deal with Volvo fell through. At the time, Lancia was in need of a full-size family sedan and jumped into the mix as well via an existing relationship with Saab (see the Saab Lancia 600). There's a brief sidebar about weird cars of the time. Select picks include the Citroen DX and GS, as well as the AMC Eagle and Concord. Plus oddball platform sharing in the form of the Dodge Monaco, Renault 25, and Chrysler 300M. Merkur enters the chat, as does Cizeta and the equally prodigious V6 Chevy Cavalier Z24, 4-cylinder Cadillac Cimarron, and, of course, the forever elegant Lumina Euro.  What's that? You'd like to know how many V6s were on sale in Europe in the late 80s? One. Or two. Somewhere between 1 and 3-ish. We think. Pretty sure. In any case, the hottest of the hot Tipo Quattro cars are QUICK. The Saab 9000 Aero being the quickest FWD car of the time, but the Thema 8.32 and Alfa 164Q4 were close behind. As were the Dodge Omni GLHS and the Ford Taurus SHO – the original fast blob. In This Episode: The Alfa Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio Verde (230 hp) The Saab 9000 Aero (225 hp) The Lancia Thema 8.32 (215 hp) There's much talk of Busso V6s, Ferrari V8s (cross- and extra jiggly flat-plane) and their sound profiles. We'll also cover the delightful smell of rich Italian leather, and our most favorite Pininfarina pen strokes. Then we'll blitz through a bunch of badge-engineered bungles like the VW Routan, Acura SLX, Mazda2 and Honda's new Prologue. When done poorly, platform sharing can kill entire brands, but sometimes we're left with a small crop of lust-worthy enthusiast cars, and for that we are thankful! Learn more about your ad choices.

Alex, Randy, and Zac bring New Blood into the New Game. Howard joins the crew after an extended hiatus to recap our largest Monterey Alumni Gathering yet, talking about favorite cars and sandwiches from the event, seeing how "the other guys" do things during Car Week, the ominous sight of too many AMG 6x6s in one place, the continuing search for the perfect Corkscrew shuttle, and two more upcoming BaT events to round out the year. They then move on to the matter at hand: picking the best cars from 1995 in several crucial categories, proceeding to argue about them, and capping them off with a veritable host of honorable mentions.

Movie Review: Just when you thought you had heard every Santa origin possible….this is the one where they kill him, and could completely care less.  No one is even sad.  And apparently, we shouldn't be either! Tim Allen goes on a movie tear in the 1990's that'll melt your bank account.

We have an amazing guest this week. Zach Wright (@BlueTurd on YouTube) competed in the Discovery reality show Getaway Driver and had more success than any other driver in the first season. He did it in a Ford Taurus SHO that he paid $3,500 for while competing against people in machines worth considerably more. Later, he sticks with us to discuss the new Toyota Tundra.

Brian and Nick are back for their first podcast of 2019! This week, Nick reveals what SUV his mom ended up buying, Brian talks RCR travel plans for the year, and questions from the chat room are addressed, such as what constitutes a regular car, and whether or not a Kia Stinger GT is superior to a Ford Taurus SHO.

The new Ford Taurus is the topic of discussion on this edition of Autoline EXTRA. John McElroy continues his talk from the broadcast with three people involved in the program. They discuss what was done to make the interior quieter, the new EcoBoost engine that will be equipped on the SHO version of the Taurus, and how people have reacted to the ambient lighting feature in the interior, that allows you to choose from seven different colors. Joining John in the discussion from Ford are Lon Zaback the Design Manager of the Interior, Earl Lucas the Design Manager of the Exterior and Mike Crowley the Group Marketing Manager.

No BullSome may know it from the stories of Zeus in Greek mythology. While others, who study the stars, are familiar with the famous constellation bearing its name in the Northern Hemisphere. Then there are the rest of us who just read our sign in the Astrology column. Whichever group you fall into, these descriptions are how most became aware of Taurus the Bull. That is, up until the year 1986. That's when Ford Motor released "Taurus the Car" which grabbed the spotlight and became a hit for the company for years. However, like its namesake constellation on a cloudy night, the Taurus brand began to whither and fade in the '90s until it was finally gone from sight. Well, today, some years later, it's back in a big way. But it’s not the same old midsize car you remember -- this Taurus is a show stopper. That's why John invited some of the Taurus team onto to this week's Autoline to give us all a look at a large part of Ford's new future. Joining John on the panel are the two men most responsible for the design of the car: Earl Lucas did the exterior while Lon Zaback did the interior. But as great as a car may be it can't sell itself and that's where the marketers come in. Also here to explain Ford's marketing plans for Taurus is Mike Crowley, Group Marketing Manager for North American Cars and Crossovers.
