Granada, predecessor of Scorpio (in England Granada Mk III), was an Euro Ford flagship car and quite answered the standards of a representation class. It was successful even compared to Mercedes Benz, BMW and other executive cars at the time. Scorpio solved a market problem of developing a large, modern, and accessible car. Thus, the competitors were no longer Mercedes and BMW, but more likely Audi 100 and Opel Omega. In the total car has received a title - Car of the Year.

Scorpio advantages have always been clear - huge internal space, driving comfort and above all low price of car and service. What other car of such size with six-cylinder engine and extensive equipment could be purchased for $1000- $ 2000? This does not apply to the 92-95 models, which can be luckily purchased now for some $2500-3500...

Yes, Scorpio has not perfect controllability (though it is quite dynamic), is not blessed by Japanese reliability and Mercedes quality, but is nevertheless quite decent car with price, which overbalances any defects.
