I wonder how there selling right now? but some are exported too
The Grand Marquis is very popular in Saudi Arabia. They even get dressed up for export. One year the Grand Marquis sported a mercedes style hood ornament (looked ugly to me, but hey, to each their own). They also got the sport model rear wings on *all* the Saudi cars another year. Pirelli P-Zero tires also go on each export car. Heavy duty cooling and oil coolers on all export vehicle (The coolers you see here only on the cop cars). They also get additional HVAC ducting for the rear seat.
Last figures I remember is ~160,000 units year produced. Best year was a few years ago at ~250,000 units.
But down to the nitty gritty, I'd really love to know why a car like that is virtually ignored by Ford. No advertising, nothing, just let the car die out. Its almost as if they want to end production of a vehicle that is a money maker.
