Talk:Ford Interceptor

Ford Interceptor Also Called?

There says that Interceptor is also called Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car, something complete false as the interceptros is only a concept car, so i will correct that. --El estudiante 00:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Ford describes the Interceptor design

"styling as being influenced "...much like a Marine in dress uniform. He looks smart and elegant but you can see the raw power that lies beneath." [1]" Wow. I understand Ford is a company whose primary market is the States, but can you really feel justified in exploiting the militaristic nature of an entire nation? By making this statement Ford's no better than those guys on TV in Ukraine or wherever who were using military terms to describe the chocolate they were advertising. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/PlateIII_Officer_Dress_Uniform.jpg Besides, that's neither smart nor elegant, and you don't see ANY "raw power". 207.210.29.71 (talk) 23:04, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

They do say funny and/or odd things at car shows and during press conferences while introducing concept cars don't they, and sometimes they look back with perhaps a little regret or shame, especially if the car or its styling never really made it to production. PR speech writers sometimes make the talking heads say the dumbest things. Sort of like the frequent use of scantily clad models used to show off the vehicle displays, in costumes and dresses that match or contrast with the car's paint. In any case, a quote is a quote, dumb or otherwise, as exemplified by the (current) President of the Nation in question here. Of course, the noted remarks may be particularly non-notable and uninteresting "now", as the automotive industry in the US has nearly collapsed into oblivion since those arguably unfortunate and perhaps insensitive remarks. Do you propose to remove them? I doubt anyone would care that much either way. --T-dot ( ^Talk/contribs ) 23:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Funny to look back five years later and read that "the automotive industry in the US has nearly collapsed into oblivion" in 2009. Dumb quotes are surely not only the province of Presidents of "the Nation in question." Just btw, the now-current President is not immune to some dumb quotes of his own. Quite a few of them, actually. Spoken as one who knows, being a citizen of that "Nation in question." Peace. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.248.185.22 (talk) 17:24, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Production?

22 January 2012 article ANswers to Questions About New York by Michael Pollak New York Times indicates the NYPD will test the "Ford Interceptor" when it becomes available later this year (2012). Same car or just the same name? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 09:20, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Trying to find that out too. I'm looking at this page solely because of an Internet article about the "intimidating" new Ford Interceptor police vehicle. Again, same car, similar car, or only same name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.248.185.22 (talk) 17:17, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
