Until recently, in my understanding, "Merc" stood for "Mercury", an obviously inferior product.
But since the term is used frequently on this ng, I wonder if it might have some merit? Will Daimler's next purchase be the Ford Motor Co.? Given how poorly Detroit is doing as a whole, is this really outside of legitimate speculation?
