As expected, the Grand Marquis, as a car, is quite terrible. It's basically a twenty year old car that was just assembled. It's laughably crude, slow, inefficient, and backwards. And only $31,000!
Considering livery services and Floridians love these things, it's no wonder that Ford never bothered to update it. The wheezy V-8 makes 224 horses, gets the car to 60 in a snoozy 9.3 seconds, yet only gets 16 MPG in town. Oy.
It's a bit sad that these things are going away. They've always been there, and their awfulness is kinda funny. But kitsch factor alone can't save this dinosaur.
