[Shotimes] (OT) Marauder

[Chip]

I love the look of it, but the performance is a huge letdown - I have seen some roadtests recently that put its 0-60 over 8 sec.!
My Mark VIII had the same engine with 20 LESS hp, and ran 0-60 in the high 6s all day long...it couldn't have been any lighter, either - it was a BIG car.  The Marauder gets better gears, too...I'm afraid we might be witnessing another case of "missing ponies", along the lines of the Cobra fiasco a few years back...

With the talk about all these newer cars, I was wondering if anybody has taken
a look at the Mercury Marauder? I haven't been to a dealer but have looked at
the specs on-line. It looks like a good sport sedan. The only part I don't
like is the price. I have heard they are giving a rebate because of the lack
of sales.
