Ford plans to stop the production of the Mercury models in 4 years. Though the officials of the company do not confirm this information, Ford does not have any plans for it after 2012.

For several seasons Mercury has not been presented at any auto show which gives room to think the company wants this model to die. Actually at the last Detroit auto show Ford presented Lincoln and showed the MKT crossover concept and did not mention Mercury at all. The same happened when the pictures of the new Ford Taurus leaked out to the Internet. The company agreed they are having some plans for the model in 2010, but there was no information about Mercury.

The last model will be renewed and upgraded in the beginning of the next year. It will be a Milan midsize sedan. The Ford’s President of Americas says they are focusing all of their attention on the development of the new Lincoln and cannot do much with the Mercury right now.
