In all honesty, I think Ford is behind the curve on luxury rear wheel V8 sports cars. I was on the freeway yesterday and saw a brand new Chrysler 300 with a V8 and sort of Jaguar styling and it was impressive.

The Marauder was sort of the last of the old Fox based cars like up-to-2002 Lincolns, Sables and so forth. The 4.6 mod motor Mercury luxury car I rented two years ago had a great drivetrain, but old, stodgy handling. They're clearing out the Marauder for something new and better. Ford has been killing in the truck market for 10 years though.
