Merkur is a brand Ford tried to pass off as a performance division. Basically a hopped up Escort.

I was kidding..

They were around in the Late 80's? It's when BMW's and Mercedes were really taking off with Yuppies and Ford thought they could fool people into thinking it was a German thing. Didn't quite work.
