I couldn't vote Pontiac fast enough. One of my favorites. Clean, elegant, powerful.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

High marks for Marauder's roofline, subtle fins, and overall aggressive look. I could do without the chrome strip on top of the rear wheel well opening. 

Looking at the Grand Prix - oh MY! The wheels, the stately styling, elegance and performance promise - just stop there; I've seen enough for my choice.

Like them both, but the Pontiac wins today.

The Mercury is nice but it had the misfortune of having to compete against some of the best Pontiac designs ever. Pontiac.

I like the Mercury but it cannot compete here. Pontiac!

@bob-jackman +1  My thoughts as well Bob.  This year GP is as good as it gets IMHO.

I guess I am the loner.  For me I like the Mercury better.  To me the Mercury just looks sleeker.

@carsman1958 I love the Mercury too John, especially its sleek roofline, and would love to own one BUT the sporty elegance of the Grand Prix is tough to beat.

I really like both cars. This is yet another inspired comparison! For me, the scale tips gently in favor of the GP.
