I think the obvious choice would be to make the mercury first because according to the song.. it'll make sales.:flip: Quote Selected

Reply #21 – October 11, 2005, 03:29:12 PM Personally I think Mercury got its chance at a Mustang based coupe and messed that shot up with the Marauder, for some reason they went with a 4-door more family practicle model, and it didnt last but what a year..Same thing with the charger, its doing much better than the marauder did already but I think it would have a better chance had they called it the "2006 Intrepid"Im not dissin either, I would rock a Marauder or a Charger SRT-8 in a minute, if I had the cash to just throw away like a celebrity. Both beautiful cars but the charger should have been called a redesigned Intrepid and the Marauder should have been made with double the HP to both sky rocket sales in my opinion. Either way, mine or Peg's next vehicle isnt going to be Ford, Mercury, or a Lincoln... Quote Selected
Say WHA..?! Reply #22 – October 11, 2005, 03:43:13 PM your going to get a kia arnt you:) my thoughts on it is i have never seen ford go all out on performance. they do a lil with the mustang but its like you need to get a cobra to get really alot of power. i mean i was hoping they would come out with a 2 door taurus and call it a falcon. they never marketed the marauder to be a performance car same with the SHO or most of there car. they dont even market the mustang to be performance becuase they know that if a charger, camaro, firbird ever pulled up next to it they would smoke it.what im trying to say is ford is more for styling then performence so i dont see this going anywhere. it also doesnt help that gas is going up.
