Merkur Scorpio


To the Europeon views this car is nothing unusual, albeit with a different badge on the front. Over here it was sold in the late 80’s and early 90’s as the Ford Scorpio, Ford’s luxury executive car sat above the new Mondeo/ old Sierra in the range. But over in the states it was used to try and create a new luxury brand by Ford, importing the previously mentioned Scorpio but also the sport version of the Sierra. Selling European cars to the states had its hurdles, the main one being the requirements for safety.
