Yahoo Ford shutting down Mercury article

Ford is shutting down Mercury production by the end of 2010. I am surprised Mercury has lasted this long. They have had an identity crisis for a number of years.

I’m surprised actually. But I haven’t really followed the industry enough to know whats going on. I thought everyone was going downhill because of the recession.

I can’t remember a Merc recently that has stood out or even really made the headlines. I like seeing them at car shows but think Ford made the right decision to let them go now
