I remember working on the Merkur models back in my Ford dealership days. Neat cars for sure at their time, but today's technology blows anything from that bygone era away now.
I will say one thing about the Merkurs back in the day, the ride quality and handling was very German like when compared to the rest of the Ford line at the time. The Scorpio was kind of unique in that it had the 2.9L Ranger V-6 in it, but with a double blade throttle body. That car didn't even dive when jamming on the brakes from 80-0mph.
