	I too saw the Merkur xr4ti at the NYC Auto Show.  I on the other hand
was very impressed.  The interior (instrument panel, ergonimics, seats,...)
is first rate.  I don't mind the exterior one bit.  What is truly nice about
this car is that the performance, looks, and engineering are comparable to
the best German (and Swedish) imports but that sales and service can be gotten
at any lincoln-mercury dealer.  Another strong point is that the car is 
competively priced and will be rarer on the streets than its competition for
a long time to come.
