2010 Ford Taurus SHO (Weekly Test-Drive):

Questions we’ve recently received from Twitter and the site:

Twitter: Does the 2010 Taurus have a large trunk?

Yes – it is enormously large. Extremely gigantic. We’ll have a picture up in our final review by next week.

Autto: What are your feelings on the paddle shifters? Does this tester come with the performance package?

We’re not too fond of the paddle shifters. They are a bit flimsy and a bit uncomfortable unless you can wrap your whole hand around the large steering wheel. Yes, our tester does come with a performance package and 19-inch wheels.
