Man the Marauder is sweet!!!

its gonna be a big hit over here in DC, I know that! its "big body" heaven over here...Caprices and Crown Victorias are coveted cars around my way! 300+ hp, stock 18's and the police "interceptor" look...I think its gonna be a sweet ride! I love the stance as well.

I must say, that's one of the most unbiased car forums I've ever read. Not only do they find fault with Ford and their own cars, but they can actually admit that rival Japanese companies are making superior products and gaining market share. That doesn't happen much on Nissan or Honda boards.
