FordMoCo is re-tooling everything. Adding vehicles to Lincoln and stopping production of Mercury in the fourth quarter of 2010.

twastheglow · 06-02-2010, 10:42 PM

This should have been done so long ago.

crazymark316 · 06-02-2010, 10:49 PM

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.

jjm4life · 06-02-2010, 10:52 PM

meh, pontiac was a bigger loss

ndubz · 06-03-2010, 12:43 AM

GeforceXtreme · 06-03-2010, 10:07 AM

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.

Dr.JZ · 06-13-2010, 01:46 PM

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...

98GSXdude · 06-13-2010, 01:56 PM

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

ThePrimerSuspect · 06-13-2010, 02:45 PM

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

"Another one bites the dust-ahh"
