The
only two good things about the Scorpio were dual zone climate control and the fact that you couldn't see the front of it from inside.
Ford couldn't even be arsed to remove the front anti roll bar mounting hardware from the Granada chassis before repanelling it

And if you're to include the Alfa166, then don't forget the Citroen XM and the Renault Avantime... all three of which are only of note for their opps you levels of quirkiness.
The Scorpio only really sold through brand loyalty, and I suspect that the Omega only clung on as long as it did because a) it was sold pretty much globally; and b) because it was the Granada replacement that the Scorpio should have been, and so poached a few blue oval customers in the process

Give it time and they'll have their day, but as somebody said in another thread, good quality Police Omega restorations are steadily climbing in value, so it's only a matter of time until the best kept cars follow suit...
Look at the values of early eighties Fords now compared to a decade ago
