2008 mercury grand marquis Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Powertrains and Performance: Only one engine and transmission are offered on the Grand Marquis: a 4.6-liter V8 coupled to a four-speed automatic that sends 224 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels.

Why should I also consider these?
Those eyeing the Mercury Grand Marquis don't have a lot of other choices.
If it's a rear-wheel-drive car they want, they might look to the Chrysler 300, which offers better performance, but is also more expensive and not as roomy inside.
The Buick Lucerne is a large, expansive sedan that's very refined, and its V-6 brings impressive fuel economy.
The Kia Amanti is about the same price as the Grand Marquis and offers a very roomy cabin, energetic V-6 performance, and a plush ride, with more standard features.
Finally, there's Mercury's own Sable, a big sedan that just about makes the Grand Marquis redundant, if you're OK with front- or all-wheel drive.
The Sable has an interior that's just as spacious, if not more so, than the Grand Marquis, with as smooth a ride, but better handling, and it's one of the IIHS Top Safety Picks for 2008.
