Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Many reviewers report that the Grand Marquis looks nice enough, but the styling is out of date.  The association of the Grand Marquis and nearly identical Ford Crown Victoria with police cruisers and taxi-cabs doesn't do much to help the Grand Marquis' street cred.

  • "The Mercury Grand Marquis is so old... 'How old is it?' It's so old, its platform debuted when Jimmy Carter was president. It's so old, a cassette deck is an optional extra. It's so old, the Grand Marquis and its relatives are the only cars still built using body-on-frame construction. It's so old, Ed McMahon will soon respond, 'Yessir, that's old.'" -- Edmunds
  • The "Grand Marquis is a nice enough big sedan, but suffers from a Reagan-era basic design," -- Consumer Guide
  • "Basically a clone of the Crown Victoria, the Grand Marquis gets a flashier grille and tail lamp treatment that leans more toward the Lincoln family than Ford's." -- Kelley Blue Book
