    My name is Don, and I hail from the Buckeye State of Ohio.
    I picked up my 07 Crimson Grand Prix GT on April 3rd, and so far I am really enjoying it. From what I can tell, the GT models without the sunroof are a bit rare. I wanted it this way as the extra headroom taken by the sunroof comes in hany for my 6'3" stature.

    My previous vehicle was a very dependable 2001 Dodge Durango, but I am just not an SUV/truck type fellow. Needless to say, the Durango was no stranger to gas stations, and were it not for an 8 mile daily commute I would have been bankrupt.

    Previous to that, I had a beautiful Emerald Green 1995 ATX Ford Taurus SHO which I throughly enjoyed and regret selling to this day.

    Anyway, I have always kept an eye on the Grand Prix, and hoped to someday have one of the supercharged models.

    My GT has a little over 26k, and surely rides mucho better and goes faster than the old D. Weighing in at some 1500 pounds less with 30 more HP has a lot to do with that.

    I am glad to have found this forum, as I spent quite abit of time on one of the Durango Forums which proved to be very much worth its weight in gold.

    I hope to contribute to solving other's issues with my car knowledge, and am always ready to learn something new.


    Don

    Welcome to the community.

    I was reading an article just a couple days ago that Ford was bringing back the Taurus SHO again in a twin turbocharged EcoBoost V6 version, supposedly in 2010.

    Hi Guys, and thanks.

    I would love to have a new SHO in my garage as well, but it is only a 2.5 car deal, and the 40k they are wanting for the new SHO really is not in the budget.

    For its time, the SHO was indeed a real sleeper. Anyway, I don't want to make any waves my talking about other vehicles in the GP forum.

    Thanks for the welcome, and what a really nice car the GP is. I walk into the garage, and still cant believe it sits there waiting at my beck and call.

    Don
