Bob Lutz’s Nine Greatest Hits Gallery

Definitely one of the more interesting cars Lutz was in favor of, the Merkur XR4ti was closely related to the European Ford Sierra XR4i, but the American car got a turbocharged 2.3 liter engine instead. With a sticker price in 1985 of $18,750, higher than a BMW 325e, and a bunch of Mercury dealers that really weren’t interested, this was also one of Lutz’s bigger losers.
