I want that Torino GT badly! Ford must build that asap. Truly nice work sir.

I fly to both coasts quite a bit and normally use either AVis or Budget (corporate policy) IN the last few months, I've had a hell of a time trying to find a Ford. Other than the occasional stripped out Focus, never seems to be any available. Both the wife and I drive Fords with the SYNC, and have become addicted to it. There are NEVER any Fords with SYNC available, always checked out.

Found this response on another forum....wish I could take credit - We are dedicated to preserving and expanding the Mercury brand and it's line up with... - No you're not. - We are TOO! We will give them smaller cars so that they'll complement Lincoln... - No you won't Alan. - YES WE WILL!!! - Stop it. - ( puts fingers in ears ) WE WILL GIVE THEM SMALLER AND FUEL EFFICIENT CARS, AND THE PEOPLE WILL BUY THEM, AND THAT JILL WOMAN WILL SELL THEM AND LOOK HOT IN PHOTOS FOR THEM, AND.. - Then why did you just present a C segment Lincoln concept? - MERCURY IS NOT DEAD, IT WILL LIVE ON AND ON AND ON AND wait... what? - The Lincoln C concept ( shifts computer screen so that Alan can see ) - That's a Megane. OH SHIT! - What? - The grille. - What about it. - It's a Lincoln. - Yeah. - Is it new? It kinda looks early 2000s-ish. - Brand new, just revealed. - Oh... ( pauses, awkward silence ) That Jill woman is still pretty hot though. - Yes, yes she is. - Maybe she could still work for Lincoln. - Meh, maybe... What about Mercury? - Who? - Yup, that's what i thought.

How about the Interceptor, the Messenger, the Continental concept? Hell, even the Meta one? They can't even rebadge a Mustang and give us a Cougar again, but this???? I am depressed

As an 11 year Lincoln Mercury Salesman and Manager, I really have to say how disappointed I am in this vehicle. This is just another slap in the face for those of us who have remained loyal, hoping for a return of a truly world class product. Say what you will about the styling, but at least the MKS and MKT are somewhat competitive in the market. But I was really hoping for something signaling the desire of Ford to return Lincoln/Mercury to true greatness. This C thing is an absolute travesty, and the lack so far of anything from Mercury leads me to believe we have been placed on the back burner for good, and what will follow is a long slow road to extinction.
