Mercury-Lyn
The Mercury Lynx is a classic, mid-sized car produced by Ford Motor Company from 1981 to 1987. It was the first Mercury car to be built in the United States since the Mercury Monarch ended production in 1979. The Lynx was a compact, front-wheel drive, four-door sedan that was designed to compete with the popular Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. It was offered in both two-door and four-door models, and came with a variety of engines ranging from the 1.6L to the 2.3L.
The Lynx was known for its stylish exterior, which featured a long hood, a short rear deck, and a low-slung, wedge-shaped profile. The interior was comfortable and roomy, with plenty of head and legroom for passengers. The Lynx was also known for its excellent handling and fuel economy, making it a popular choice for budget-minded buyers.
The Lynx was available in a variety of trim levels, including the base GL and the more luxurious LTS. The GL was equipped with standard features such as air conditioning, power windows, and a tilt steering wheel. The LTS added features such as a power sunroof, leather seats, power door locks, and a digital clock.
The Lynx was powered by a range of four-cylinder engines, ranging from the 1.6L to the 2.3L. All engines were mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The 1.6L was rated at 70 horsepower and the 2.3L was rated at 97 horsepower.
The Lynx was praised for its excellent handling, thanks to its independent front suspension and rear leaf-spring suspension. The brakes were also praised for their good stopping power. Inside, the Lynx featured comfortable seating and plenty of legroom for passengers.
Despite its good performance and solid build quality, the Lynx was unable to compete with the more popular Japanese imports. This, combined with the fact that the Lynx was more expensive than its competitors, meant that sales were slow. The Lynx was discontinued in 1987, after only six years in production.
Today, the Mercury Lynx is a popular classic car, and is highly sought after by collectors. The Lynx is a great example of a classic American car, and is a reminder of the good old days of motoring. It is also a great car for those looking for a reliable, affordable vehicle that is sure to turn heads.
