C-Max and C1 Focus- yes, I think they would be good Mercury cars. I like the Mariner and would leve that alone. (It sells well in Europe - the Cosmopolitan, GQ, Metrosexuals and urban sophisticant center of the universe as the Ford Maverick) The Fiesta would be a better Ford than a Mercury because Ford should have the least expensive car if you plan to push Mercury up market where American yuppies are.

Not many consumers wish for the Baja, so not many other manufacturers will wish to make one.

I thought that Falcon was cool when I first saw it too, but now... Other than the cool headlights it is a dull design that's past its prime. It looks as modern as the 1992 Taurus. I like the power, the RWD and most other things about it on paper (I've never seen one in person so I can't comment on how well it drives), but that style probably should be kicked to the curb.

Wow! Such a small change and what a big difference! I wish it looked like that from the start! Great job!

If the "roids" are hemorrhoids, then yes it looks like that!

The Caliber looks nice, but what the hell happened to that Jeep?

Hey watch it dude, I had an 86 EXP for 7 years.:P

As far as people liking the Chalanger and Camaro styling better than the Mustang, remember the Mustang has been out a couple of years now and we saw it on the auto show circuit a year before that and the Mustang show car a year before that. I think the Mustang style, which is more conservative, will wear better than the other two cars. This is the way it was in the past.

I just noticed this. What's on the roof of the car? It looks like a chrome strip above the doors.

Posted by silvrsvt: Front and Rear Fenders look different also...besides the ports on top You're right! The lines of the fenders don't match the rest of the car. Look at the 3rd pic down. The front looks more wavy while the doors are the current Montego's lines. This may be the 2007 reskin. I hope they get rid of the fender holes. It is a rip off of Buick.

This whole plant closing makes me sick. I know what it is like to be downsized... twice! Its tough to read this knowing that many of you on this board are going to lose their jobs. I only wish all of you can pull through this and be stronger in the end. 8 of my nine cars I've owned were Fords. I've had nothing but from 1987. I have driven many cars and I chose Ford 8 out of 9 times. I am proud to own my '05 Mustang and I hope to buy many more in the future. I can tell a lot of pride and love went into that car and I thank you. To Management: I hope there is a much better plan after this. No one ever retreated into victory.

The name is pronounced "Jee-lee"?!!! Isn't that how the Ben Afflek/Jennifer Lopez movie Gigli was pronounced? I hope this car has the same fate. This car comes from the same China that said last month they would nuke us if we tried to stop an invasion of Taiwan. China is so openly hostile to the US and is quickly becoming a powerhouse. If this continues the world will be back to the same cold war of the 20th century - only this time with a much more powerful rival.

The Rock 'n Roll car.
