gm needs to work on their pricing if their top of the line laX is only a few grand under the SHO.
the SHO and LaX are not going after the same type of customer.
for 40k, 44k for a the performance pack, you can get a 335xi that is faster and handles worlds better.
You can get a RWD performance car like the SRT8 Charger or 300C.
44k gets you two slightly used G8 GT's, both outhandle and out perform the SHO.

the LaX in any trim is not designed to battle the SHO.
The Taurus loaded is comparable to teh LaX, but it places dead last to the LaX, ES350 and Genesis sedan.

The Taurus is WAY over priced...way overpriced.

When I got my car, right of the bat it had to go back to the dealer for a new steering wheel because the one it came with the leather was full of bumps. Then about 2-3 weeks in it developed horribly loud dash & console rattles and a buzzing noise around 2500 RPM. Took it to the dealer twice, but didn't really solve the problem. I ended up spraying areas with WD-40 and now the sounds are pretty much gone. The black trim on the left rear passenger door that runs vertically between the window and small stationary quarter window started separating. Turns out it is all one piece with the stationary window and some of the chrome trim, so that all had to be replaced. But, the replacement part that GM sent to the dealer was damaged, so this week they will be re-installing that.
It really sucks to hear about all that man. Really does.
