Is *no* one capable of making two cars under the same brand that don't look exactly the same? I first noticed this with the (commonly owned granted) Jaguar and Aston Martin cars. An XKR looks exactly like a DB9 which looks exactly like a Vantage.

They almost can't stop making the Grand Marquis, it is the official car of South Florida! Thousands of those things are on the roads of Florida.

I see no reason to continue with the Mercury line. . It is simply a Ford in clowns clothing
