Right you are Hudson that the Sierra sold well, it was market leader in its segment for many years.
But may I gently re-correct your correction regarding your view that "the Scorpio sold well"?
Indeed the Scorpio, the final UK-badged model with the bloated fish-eye headlights and tail lights set way low on the vehicle was an unmitigated sales disaster, hence the 'final' model, such a poor seller that Ford no longer produces a domestic (European manufactured) large car.
Almost every mention I've read of the above vehicle cites its 'controversial' styling - read plain ugly and out of tune with the market - as the principal reason for the models demise. The buying public didn't like it and it just didn't sell ... although I will concede it was quite popular with Funeral Directors, after conversion to hearses (these people can see death a'coming!)
Perhaps you are thinking of the previous generation shape, sold briefly in America under the Merkur label, which was a reasonable seller in its home country.
