It looks pretty much like this. I have no idea what year it is. Its a loaner the shop gave us while they fix my clutch on the Honda. Upon a moment's research, I find that they quit making them in 2010, the very last one being built in 2011.
I was always mystified by the line. Who drives a Mercury, and why. They are so boring as to be stealth. In fact I thought perhaps the FBI maybe drove them. Ha, Fox Mulder in Mercury! In fact in 2010 in Raleigh NC, I rented one. I didn't mean to, but I just couldn't go through that line again to get something different. It was huge. It was white and the deal clincher was the AC. Man, that was a cold car with the air blowing and we were there in the summer heat. So I decided I could bear the ignominy of driving a huge white deep freeze of a car, a Mercury.
It was a good thing, it turns out. Comfy and boring. Nice and cold. That was a weird road trip anyhow. That's the year we got shot at. NO lie. I often take a wee nap in the middle of a day's driving, parking in some out of way place and snoozing for 15 minutes. Well, some critter didn't like us parked at the edge of his field. Whatever!
Turns out there was a pickup too, though not sold in the US.
