I hope people thought about things like this before they signed up to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that doesn't happen to anyone else because that was enough to push me over the edge. Those crooked dick bastards are trying to get rid of everyone they can that makes $28 an hr and replace with the two tier wages. Just when i think i got um right where i want them ," bam" they fucked me again. How long can i collect for on ILO?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_A Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Those are two vehicles that I would personally buy.I think Ford is cutting some great product. Agreed, 100%. I love my Montego, and I can't imagine too many L-M dealers being totally happy with this new approach to Mercury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpmaster Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Agreed, 100%. I love my Montego, and I can't imagine too many L-M dealers being totally happy with this new approach to Mercury. Personally, I really like the FiveHundred/Taurus/Montego/Sable; it's a sweet sedan! Apparently, the bean counters figure it costs more to market and sell the Sable/Taurus X than we make on them. If the honchos are serious about Mercury surviving, we need to get the brand new product---and soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc191 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 i love my taurus x, it's a 08. i have a bad back and had to give up my bronco and pick up, too hard to get in and out of. ford is making a big mistake with this cross over. they want to sell the flex, more money and profit. i'm averging 19.9 miles combined milage. this is a very nice unit. ford just doen not advertise it. such a waste.

kalu Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Agreed, 100%. I love my Montego, and I can't imagine too many L-M dealers being totally happy with this new approach to Mercury. Great vehicles, just missed on exterior design. I also had a Limited 05 Freestyle AWD, mpg sucked, 17 on highway. My old man has an 05 Montego Premier AWD and pulls 28-30 mpg, why such a mpg gap between the two? Had it checked out and everything was fine, so they said. Drive an Edge now, 24 mpg hwy.

ptsweeper Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I have a 07 Freestyle FWD. Average about 21 mpg with mostly city driving, with about 27 - 29 mpg on longer trips. This is flat out the best mileage you can get in a 7 passenger vehicle. (with limited research on my part) The vehicle drives great, much better than a minivan. It just needs a better marketing plan.

94bronco Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I wouldn't get too worried as from what we have seen of the 2010 Taurus it will more than make up for lost volume of these two slow selling products and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin' Rick Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Those are two vehicles that I would personally buy.I think Ford is cutting some great product. Management's goal is to eliminate all product assembled in the US. Don't be fooled into thinking anything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
