Merge into Ford Scorpio

I am proposing this article be merged into Ford Scorpio. I don't believe the Merkur version is different enough from the Ford to warrant it's own article, not to mention that this article is short, not very well written and doesn't contain enough unique information that it can't be covered in the main Scorpio article. It already has a section for the Merkur and I think that's all this coverage this model really needs. Reattacollector (talk) (via public computer). 64.85.150.114 (talk) 19:09, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Oppose While I agree that this article is worthy of its start-class rating, the Ford Scorpio article has what it needs on this vehicle already and is not in need of any expansion (as does the Merkur parent article). While less extensively modified than the XR4Ti, the Scorpio was also re-engineered for North American use (part of the reason leading to its demise); this article is just in need of attention. --SteveCof00 (talk) 07:51, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Oppose - I think the car is notable in itself due to being marketed in a different country by a different division of the company, with substantial re-engineering and changes to trim. Although underneath it is the same car as the Granada-Scorpio, in the eyes of the consumer it is not seen that way. One Of Seven Billion (talk) 14:43, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

I don't know what's more hilarious, the allegiation (in the intro) that the Scorpio was developed for Merkur, or that it's anything but a Ford Scorpio, rebadged and adapted to different regulations. Substantial re-engineering did not happen. Anyone of a different opinion may of course feel free to edit the article accordingly. With sources, of course. That would be highly informative. Also, Sierra floorpan or not, lengthening wasn't all that happened, as the Scorpio is a substantially wider vehicle. Track's ca. +4/5". All that notwithstanding, this issue can do with a merger. So far, nothing says it's anything but a re-badge. Sorry, Billion. --G-41614 (talk) 13:30, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
