I thought someone posted way back that this car started out as a mistake. Something like they built a bunch of these aluminum 4.6s for the limousine fleet (Lincoln) and then lost a bunch of sales to Cadillac, at which point they dropped them into Grand Marqs and called them Marauders, with a few more changes of course.
Of course this is only hearsay, but that certainly sounds like the way things end up lots of times.
No matter how they came about, I'm happy.

Self-importance is our greatest enemy. Think about it - what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellowmen. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone. -- Carlos Castaneda
