What's funny is the new Hummer H2 handily outsold the Marauder in its first 6 months than the latter has sold since its introduction!

Ford needs to give it up and just build SUVs, Mustangs & fleet vehicles.  I know I probably won't buy another Ford product, unless its an SUV or 'Stang.  Ford doesn't have a clue about what the public wants in a sports sedan.  The public expected similar, if not better, performance from the 300hp Marauder compared to the older 260hp SS.
