Mercu-who? :P

yeah thats really not much of a loss.

NOT THE MILAN! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :roll:

Whatever shall we do?! (srs)

I guess the Grim Reaper put Mercury on his list lol

what ever will we do without the cougar?? ohh nnnooo

This should have been done so long ago.

The only somewhat fun car Mercury produced in recent memory was the Marauder...crazy to think though, that we lost so many brands over the past decade.

meh, pontiac was a bigger loss

yea Pontiac is the only one i'll miss

Yeah.. they couldn't have gotten the G8 GXP out a few more years before killing Pontiac...

There were rumers that GM was gonig to re-badge it as a Chevy Caprise and sell it. I know there are cop car ideas of it but not sure if it ever went into production or not.

Only thing i'll miss from merc........

yea but that hasnt been around since the 70s anyway. were not losing anything good at all from this

Being co-owner of a 1965 Mercury Cyclone, I can tell you they havent made much of anything worthwhile since the 5.0 Capri in the mid 80s....and even those werent the best....from 64-71, they made some sick cars with very strong motors....however, this demise should have been done a LONG time ago...dont know why Ford kept them around as long as they did...

IBTL, everyone knows Mercury died in the 70's.

Why all the hate? My 88 cougar is one of the best cars I have ever owned.

"Another one bites the dust-ahh"

As long as GM, Ford, Subaru and VW keep truckin' i don't care.
