Actually, Ford officially killed Merc last Tuesday. This is honestly not sarcasm. I don't miss the chrome tail light...bar...things. I
am disappointed the last-gen Sable never got a lightbar grille.
I'm hoping this will be good for both Merc and Lincoln. Let the MKZ and MKS and other FusionTaurus derivatives slide over to fill the hole (I know...pretend for a moment there might be one) left by Merc's absence and get us a couple of V8 rear drivers back at the top of the lineup. With the Crown Vic and LS dead, there's sort of a gaping whole that 16mpg TT V6 front-drivers (that weight more than either of the big pushers ever did) can't fill. Fill it. With something that's not in any way, shape, or form related to the Taurus. The new XFR is sex. It's still Ford-based. I'm waiting for an LS GT. Find your balls, Ford. I think you left them back in 2006 or so.
