Would you buy this car?

Convertible 335HP

concept car developed from the 2003 Mercury Marauder 300HP

Looks like they are upgrading cop cars next year.

looks pretty tight, how much? I am not paying more than 35 grand for a mercury

It looks ok, I'd rather go for the new Thunderbird. Hell, if I could afford it I would buy the original Thunderbird!

 

[Priit]

Looking pretty good, IMO. Not like those overdesigned butt-ugly monsters that we mostly see today...

I think it's cool that they are trying to bring back a full-sized 5-seat convertible, but for my money I would probably get something a little smaller and more agile. Convertibles are impractical anyway, so they might as well be 2-seaters.

No. With my previous Ford et al experiences you couldn't pay me to own one. :|

I can't wait to see a Marauder on the streets.... but I don't like convertibles (on almost any car).. so I'd get the regular Marauder

I think it's gonna be like the next late Impala SS

I agree wholeheartedly.
It also looks very....mid-80s...boxy...

 

[vi edit]

If I was to get a 4 seater convertible, I'd go with the 300m w/ the 5.7L HEMI

Much more elegant, and still a performer.

I wouldn't buy a Mercury, but I'd sure buy a 300 HP cop cruiser in a few years.

it's a tossup for me between the 96 SS or the new marauder.. do i get a brand new FORD for 25k+?!?! or buy an awesome 7 yr old chevy for 16-20k depending on the condition? i just wish they still made the SS new.. i'd definitely pay $25k for that car... esp if it had the LS1

Yes. and I don't even like Fords.

I saw my first Marauder yesterday and it looks dope....

Really? Where? I thought the car wasn't going to come out for a few more months.

Initially I thought it would be fun to have a 'cop car' lookalike, just to see the reaction of people in front of me as I drove down the road (especially in a bright white or dark blue/black government look). But the convertible top would blow this idea out of the water. I've heard that this car brings back what was bad/wrong in the 70's & 80's, but I guess that's why I'm attracted to it. A car weighing 2+ tons that can move just as quick as the smaller econobox ricers out there, while still carrying 5 people comfortably.

335+ HP? Wheeeeeeeeeee..........

 

No.
