I'm going to against the grain here by saying I'm kind of intrigued by the idea of a Ferrari shooting brake. Let's at least wait to see the car in the flesh before we pass judgment!
The only thing more miraculous than the police making it to the hospital in time is the fact those Rover SD-1s didn't self-immolate.
@duurtlang: It was a truly aerodynamic entry in a field of competitors who had not fully warmed up to the concept. Also, in the US this was the first car available with ABD standard. Anti lock had been around for awhile for sure, but it was always an option. On the Scorpio, it was installed on every one made.
The Scorpio also had a coupe-like silhouette long before the coupe-like sedan came to be the "it" thing, and the fully-electronic HVAC system was certainly something unusual for its day but commonplace now. Lastly, several car companies are touting their latest luxury offerings with reclining rear seats, but the Scorpio had back seat power recliners from its US introduction in 1987 as a 1988 model.

PS3? Check. New HDTV? Check. Puddle of saliva on the floor from me drooling? Check.
Game over...
@TechnoDestructo: I was 15 years old when the Esteem Wagon came out, and it was at the top of my shopping list for my first car! I still would love to have one, and that blue over silver is my favorite color combo too!
I have to give credit where credit is due. I think HTT has done a fantastic job with the Plethore. It looks sharp, sounds great, and appears to be put together well. I vote this "Most Likely to Succeed" among recent start-up supercar makers. I'm getting the same feeling about the HTT Plethore that I did when Pagani and Koenigsegg first came on the scene.
@m2m: The scary thing is I've heard of quite a few Lamborghinis mysteriously veering to the right for no apparent reason and causing horrendous crashes.

My Merkur Scorpio or a DeLorean.
Still no Merkurs. This makes me sad.
Holy mackeral! This car is literally only a few miles from my house! I can't afford, but I want to see it! Heck, maybe I can even convince the owner to let me take a few pictures of it with my Merkur Scorpios!
That is sick! Great work!
Me want.
That's seriously bad-ass! Now the only question is when will Peter Bishop or Olivia Dunham find their way behind the wheel of one on Fringe?
I haven't been the biggest fan of Kanye's in a long while now, but I have to admit this car choice is seriously cool. I wonder if he owns the car?
@Rock517: They are referring to the 2nd generation 300, which does indeed look much like the 200 as evidenced by photos of internal marketing materials.
I need to change my underwear now...
@Autojunkie: Believe it or not, this thing isn't a failure of MMS. VW and Porsche really did collaborate on this bad boy...it's a Vanagon that was given a thorough once-over by Porsche including a Porsche engine and produced in limited numbers. It was called the Porsche B32 and word has it this thing was quite a beast.
1988-1989 Merkur Scorpio.
