Ford Kills Mercury Sable, Ford Taurus X

In what could be the first indication that the Mercury brand is about disappear, Ford has confirmed that the Sable and Taurus X will axed this spring. As a side the Ford Taurus will be replaced in 2010 buy a nuch more competitive model.
As you know the Sable, like all Mercury models, is merely a clone of some other existing Ford model. Sales are down 21 percent this year, which is the reason for its dismissal, so says a Ford spokesman. However I have heard that Ford has a plan for Mercury that is similer to what GM has done with Saturn. What I mean is this, that Ford will use there euro influenced design called kietic.
