Its badge-engineering like that that is what makes the Ford brand troubled. I don't think they should necessarily kill Mercury (although it might be a good idea); but limiting Ford to the low-end really makes me want to go buy a Ford product...
What did you think of the Zephyr?

The badge engineering thing is annoying, but just looking at the sticker of a Milan the other day, it struck me as a pretty solid value--24K and change for what seemed like a very well equipped car.
