but the mercury had so much used car sales

how could they kill it

[Scottydoggs]

ford dont make any money off a used private resale lol

in the business world if you have something that has no profit after dumping millions into it, you have to let it go.....ford will do just fine with just ford and lincoln sales.


mecury was the mid line car, kinda like olds and pontiac, see the big picture now? they all be doing it...

Somehow when I arrived there was a red 99 Regal with the hood up. I zipped out the back valve cover quicker than my buddy did the front one earlier.

Then the nightmare continued. Called it done from my end last night. Only things left were the exhaust pipes and to put the front end back together bodywise.

and then monkey crap fell from the heavens and the car god's said..."here, on this forum are two of the dumbest threads ever posted, I shall strike them from record, may birds poop on your cars, and bologna destroy your clear coat"

Really, out of complete sarcasm this was started..nice, at least it feels moderately complimentary

I miss the desoto

[02 WS6 TA]

I like Chrysler.

[Big Dave]

DeSoto was a great car! I miss Lincoln... If killing Mercury would have somehow lead to Lincoln being brought back to the market I'd be all for it... But Ford is just running rampant with kills... And we all have to live with the fact that Lincoln and Mercury are just gone... Forever...

[Poil336]

I like Chrysler.

nobody likes chrysler.

[Rico]

I'm more depressed about Lincoln being gone than Pontiac. Yea, I said it.

Talk about history - Lincoln. I still can't believe it. How will they ever make stretch limos?

Is it true that a couple Lincoln dealers are still going? Please, someone say yes.

[BillBoost37]

If you guys miss that stuff that much...maybe you should have been around when Lincoln and Mercury truly died. Aka when Ford swallowed them up years ago. Before the Big three there were many more, those got pulled in and turned into basically three main companies. I wasn't around for the demise of those companies...but I'm sure the folks that liked the thoughts of the little manufacturer etc felt the pain when the big companies bought them out, kept the name and started selling their standard car as the little guy name.

I finally read the first part of this thread, it was nice to see RareGMFan revealing his homosexuality, and having to bring me into the conversation, GENIUS, just Genius. Where ever do you find your witty quibs? and Tank does equal Master of the Universe. I bet it didn't take a calculus problem to figure that out. I bet my nickname being equal to Master of the Universe, led to the demise of Pontiac, and Mercury. I feel so bad now, gosh darnit to heck. This extra thread about Mercury and Ford wasn't necessary to continue to have the diluted ideal that I was actually caring about any opinion on the Pontiac thread. So please, put down the Jack Daniels, or Hypnotiq, or whatever froo-froo drink some of you engorge on, and bring yourself back to reality, it's sad really...the link at the bottom is a website for people who have problems, just in general. Enjoy

And, it's even better that people who have no argument post pictures on here that are supposed to have some type of meaning. If you are annoyed by what's posted, just click out of it, and keep your 2 cents, it's that simple.

What just happened?

[GrandPrixgtp2000]

I have a question in new and all, but why the hell did gm drop Pontiac??? I am a diehard Pontiac fan!!!
