==Overview==
==Overview==
The Marbelle's performance is average in all aspects. It's performance is comparable to the [[Emperor (car)|Emperor]], though its marginally smaller size results in slightly superior handling and a little less body roll. The Marbelle has slightly higher ground clearance than most sedans, so its no problem to drive over curbs.
The Marbelle's styling is blend of '70's/'80's North American [[wp:Ford Granada (North America)|Ford Granadas]] and Lincolns. The car's headlights somewhat resemble those of the 1977–1979 [[wikipedia:Lincoln Versailles|Lincoln Versailles]], and the taillights resemble those of the 1981-1984 [[wp:Lincoln Town Car#First generation|Lincoln Town Car]]. The sides, front bumper, windows,and roof pillars resemble those of the 1975-1980 Ford Granadas (these are also very similar to the 1977/1978 Lincoln Versailles); there are also vents surrounding the headlights much like those from the 1975-1977 Granadas.

The name may come from the Granada since they are both places in Spain (Marbelle is not quite Marbella though).
