Edit: well, now I can't get the link to work. Basically, that Ford is going to phase out Mercury....

I didn't hear any of those reports, there's no mention that I could find at www.blueovalnews.com either.

If anything happens it would be here as well: http://www.ford.com/about-ford/news-announcements

If anyone here works at an FLM dealership then there would be news on FMC DEALER. The local Detroit NBC News affiliate had a blurb about it earlier, but said that any announcements would be made in July. Their story is here: Mercury Brand Could Be Shut Down

Comments are below the article. If they do shut the brand down, what would happen to Mercury Girl Jill Wagner? Would she do ads for Ford or Lincoln or be dropped altogether? Hope not!

+1...she's hot. But we can still watch her as the field host of the 'Wipe-Out' obstacle course game show.

I like that show, i think it is starting up again.
