I agree. It's the one kei car I actually like. Sub-Zero.

@Jahgee1124 What's with the numbers on the nomination list? Are you actually going to change each one whenever a new car gets polled and the whole list shifts down? :lol:

My first ever nomination, the 89-91 (1st gen) Ford Taurus SHO.

jeremy-prine-ford-taurus-sho-turbo.jpg


Body Style: 4 Door Sedan
Engine: 3.0L Yamaha built V6 (known as the SHO V6)
Transmission: 5 Speed Manual
Drivetrain: FF
Power Output: 220 bhp (164 kW; 223 PS) at 6200 rpm and 200 lb·ft (271 N·m) of torque at 4800 rpm at the flywheel

Also known as the Yamahammer, this sleeper ran with V8 Mustangs (if not beat them) and absolutely manhandled the V6 Mustangs of the same era. This car which was built by SVT came about because Ford had a contract with Yamaha to build a certain number of engines for them but the project (whatever it was) was scrapped by Ford but Ford had an obligation. So they had a stroke of genius and put the engines in the Ford Taurus. They had SVT build Tauruses with the new V6 and tune them. However when it was released for sale, the reception and sales was surprisingly good and Ford decided to continue building them. However, Mustang fans were not pleased that they were being hunted down by a grocery getter.

On a personal note, I had a chance to speak with a former SVT engineer who helped develop this car and he told me that Ford thought the car would flop so bad that they wanted to protect the name/brand/entity SVT. That's why it became known as SHO or Super High Output. So they didn't put SVT's name on the car. However after discovering such success and Americans' willingness to buy jumped up family sedans. They openly associated their next sleeper project with them. We know it as the Contour SVT.

I'm sure somebody'll pick it up soon enough. I figured I'd take a break from trying to hit the extremities of the wall. If nobody nominates it before the Renovo goes on poll, I'll do it. đź‘Ť
 
@Jahgee1124 Just thought I'd point out, my nomination (the Starlet Glanza) is listed in the OP as being made between 1966 and 1969; should be 1996 to 1999. đź‘Ť
