Ya, you could never park it next to your UNIQUE Mustang. :sleeping: oke: :kaboom:
I always thought it would be cool if they put that 5.0 cammer engine in with a optional 4.10 gear.
A new Marauder with a Lightning motor in it would be cool, but a new LIGHTNING with a Lightning motor in it would be better!!
Isnt Ford stopping the production of the crown vic and grand marquis? They should make the 500 a little more agressive looking, make it have a 5.4 DOHC N/A with about 350hp, keep the awd, and add a manual tranny. Then make a supercharger option like the charger has the SRT-8 and RT version.

The CV and GM will be around till the end of the decade. After that is anyone's guess.
Now if Ford wants to raid Ford Australia, then bring this bad mofo over:

With a little bit less flashy wing and in a darker color I'd roll that car for sure. :rockon:

Tell you what I'll park my MM Stock on outside in with 100 other 2003 Grand Mrqs and you can park your Cobra Stock on outside in with 100 other V6/GT 2001 Stangs and we'll let 100 regular people look and see which one gets spotted or noticed most. Unless they'er all like Stevey Wonder your not going to bypass the Rauder. Thats my main beef with the Cobras they don't look any diff than a GT unless you know what your looking for to distiguish it from just a GT. Where if you wanted Bucket seats/Fog lamps dual exhaust with tips/ 18" polished rims and tires you had to step up to the Marauder.

I'd take one with a SC and a 5.4...for cheaper than a 425HP SRT-8
I have to agree on the wing.

This is not a done deal. The Town Car that rides on the same chassis is going on the Five Hundred platform with an all-wheel-drive unibody platform. This leaves only the CV and GM that use this platform. There is talk down here at the Rouge Plant that the Frame will be closed and operations moved to the Stamping Plant. If this happens kiss the CV and GM goodbye. It would be too costly for Ford to move the paint system in the Frame Plant.crispy23c said:
Slim tsk tsk tsk you know how talk is.... I'm not saying you're wrong, just I don't see Ford giving up the Police Interceptor to DCX just yet. But then again when has Ford done anything logically. :nonono:

A redesign would be nice. I really like the Trilogy SEMA car but that does take away the unique tailpipes on the stock Marauder. Plus the design sorta made it look like a european car. If it was to bring in new blood, the car should be something that can bring back some of the old muscle car folks but still flashy enough for the younger crowd.
I like the 5.4 in the new GT500 but think it would be too heavy for a very heavy base. I think the 5.0 Cammer engine might be a better in between engine. It's light and has more power than the stock 4.6. Then for maybe an additional power package, add a power adder. I personally would like to see a turbo. It would be very different for an American full size sedan. The 5.0 Cammer's lower weight would help the car be have a better front/rear weight ratio. If this is done right, it would be competition for the 300C SRT-8 and the M5. It would have to cost more so that would be the downside of all this. But that would be the reasoning for the two levels. A lower level car that is still more powerfull than the current Marauder and an option to upgrade to a higher package. The lower package would also leave room for the aftermarket. They would produce their own power adder combinations.
Now only if........

Sad but true
my buddy's got a trilogy blown marauder and it is soooo bad, comfort, luxury and haul ass all in one.!!!
Blown Marauder is what they should have built....Coulda' shoulda' woulda'....I think if it had more balls in the next model year, it would have been a home run. Still has a chance (IMO) with a facelift...My wife is a BIG Marquis fan (we got one when we got kids). Later, we looked at the Marauder. We liked ALOT of what we saw, but thought (for the price at the time) it should have had stiffer suspension & more balls.
No slap intended at all, we are still BIG fans of MMs. But...now that the (D-C) 300 came out w/345hp and the Charger came out w/345 hp for $30k, it's hard to beat. Plus, you have the SRTs (w/425hp) @ $40k. If only they would sharpen the Grand Marq's/Crown Vic's sheetmetal & give it a nose & tail lift, this would sell out, IMO. It's a GREAT car. A big car. It just needs updating. Then, when it really starts to sell, offer a MM with a blown 4.6 Cobra motor. Now, that would be SWEEEEEET!!! :beer:
