Can't disagree with your list, but value is in the eyes of the beholder.

If someone gets his jollies in a Grand Marqius it may not be overpriced to him/her.

If you travel to South Florida, tons of retirees still drive it. Same with middle America's more rural places.

I can't imagine ANYONE getting any kind of jollies in a Grand Marquis (unless that person also gets the jollies everytime a new pack of Depends is gifted to them)...

The Grand Marquis is still being built at the St. Thomas assembly plant in Ontario, targeted to balance out in 2011. Quite a run as start of production was 1997. Along with the Town Car and Crown Victoria, definitely considered a cash cow for Ford for several years, hence the 'overpriced' tag for sure.
