does anybody know why they stopped production on such a hot car? i know it had its issues at around 150,000 miles but so doesn't every car right? i wish they would'nt have. but i am just curious as to if anybody knew the answer. thanks!
 
I'm sure it's all very economical. Probably lost consumer's interests when they found out Mercury brand was targetting older people and so they dropped their "fun" car. Possibly production was low? Maybe because they scrapped the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique which also used the same chassis and body parts?

My guess is that it was to move forward with the image that Ford is youthful and Mercury is old-man. That way consumers wouldnt be confused.
