A (very) significant quote:
The result is 0.87g in lateral acceleration and a 66.4-mph slalom speed. It's also worth pointing out that when we ran the same tests with the Infiniti's stability control system fully engaged, the performance changed little: 0.86g and 65.1 mph.

I feel that even if it performs similar to the G Sedan, because it is a Ford the car should list for way less then an Infiniti. Why would you want to drive a Ford vs an Infiniti for the same price or in this case even more, with not much of a difference in power.
It would be like buying a Hyundai Genesis for the same price as a G coupe IMO

The price is demanded by the technology involved. Ford's Sync absolutely blows away the voice recognition on the G, and the engine in the SHO is technically superior in most aspects.
How much more would you pay for a conservative TT and direction injection on your G37? I know I'd be willing to plunk down quite a bit.

I'm not thrilled with the styling of the new Taurus Show. But according to that article that car did not have the performance package which includes:
upgraded performance brake pads, recalibrated electric power assisted steering (EPAS), a "Sport Mode" setting that allows you to deactivate the standard AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control, 3.16 final drive ratio, 20" Premium painted wheels with Summer-compound 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 performance tires and tire mobility kit. (Spare tire is deleted when vehicle is optioned with this package).

A better comparison would have been against the Dodge Charger SRT8 or the 300C SRT8. Those three cars are all 4000+ lb. boats and priced the same.
This was not a meaningful comparison IMO.

Price wise the SHO is more expensive than the G but so is the 335 which people compare to the G all the time. Size wise the SHO is bigger than the G but the G is also bigger than the 3 series. I found it very interesting to read.

With your logic, why should people pay what they pay for with the G? It's just an Infiniti (Nissan).
