Vehicle Highlights
The 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis carries forward with few changes. This rear-wheel drive large car comes in GS and LS trims. All come with a 224-hp 4.6-liter V8 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, and front side airbags. LS versions have power-adjustable pedals. Note that the similar Ford Crown Victoria is no longer available at retail, but it is sold to fleet customers.
COMPETITION
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large Cars comprise the biggest passenger sedans and wagons. Large inside and out, they offer lots of metal for the money and are dominated by domestic brands.
Our Best Buys include Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, and Toyota Avalon. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable.
New for 2008 is the Pontiac G8.
The Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable replace the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego, and both models have more power and have been restyled for 2008.
