I saw a 1995 Scorpio in a elevator. I could not believe my eyes: The gas tank is aft the rear axle, just as in the infamous Ford Pinto and Ford Crown Victoria. Oh, yes, the Scorpio is a much more substantial car that the flimsy Pinto...but, anyway, that gas location is suboptimal.
--How on earth did a car get in a lift?
I do not know what this guys of Ford are thinking: Since the 1970´s, the gas tank is located forward of the rear axle, far from the crumple zone and inside of the survival cell. Take a look at the cars at your local junkyard to see it.
Do you want to buy a Ford?. Take a look first at the location of the gas tank.Randroide 09:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Where Is The Merkur Scorpio Picture?!... Wasn't There One On Here Before?? In-Correct 02:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by In-Correct (talk • contribs) 02:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
I remember seeing a documentation on TV about the mark 2 in the nineties. The designer of the car was interviewed, which is interesting because the main article at the time of writing says the designer is unknown. If I remember it correctly he was of austrian nobility origin, and his face strangely resembled the design of the mark 2. sounds weird, but that´s how I remember it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.220.104.3 (talk) 22:03, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
