Oh awesome, they're too far away.

I love them things. They're like 5-series hatchbacks.

Wow, how did that guy manage to get his hands on both of the Scorpios they sold in the US?

There used to be a ton of 'em around here. Currently, there's a guy who lives in the city I work in who passes me in the other direction every morning.

They're the car you bought when you wanted a German car but you worked for Ford and wanted to not have to park in the "non Ford" parking lot.

If I recall correctly:

  • larger - more mid sized
  • NA V6 (no turbo)
  • less sold

It's the 2.9 cologne V6 mated to an automatic only transmission. I don't think I've seen one since the mid-90s.

There was one around here on CL a bit ago with a manual trans (swapped in) and it was purple!
