I was looking for the window sticker and noticed the papers for this event. It was a publicity thing for (I believe) Cdn cars only.
Do any Cdn members remember it? I sure do!

No sir. I had never heard of a Marauder until after Dec/2002.

Around November 02, that's when I first spotted the Marauder in person at the MTL auto show. Until then, I had no clue the car was to be made available in Canada, I was under the impression it was US-only (like the current GTO). So I had of course never heard of the drive-away event.

The Drive Away event was a big photo op where Ford invited dealers to come to St. Thomas, schmooze a bit and then drive the car assigned to them back to their dealership. Apparently they had a parade of them around the town, along the 401 and back.
My salesman was good enough to call me beforehand about it. Having waited since Aug/01 when I gave him $1000 deposit, and watched US owners get theirs starting in May/02, I nearly burst a blood vessel when I heard about it. I couldn't believe that Ford thought so little of me that they'd offer my car to someone else I didn't even know to drive first. He then said that in lieu of this they would ship mine the regular way, which they did.
