Changing Five Hundred to Taurus shows Mulally gets Ford

The only thing I disagree with Alan, is that you cannot bring over European Fords (S-Max, Mondeo, Fiesta, etc) and give them solely to Mercury. If you want to help Ford, you have to give these to Ford dealers, since there are ALOT more Ford dealers than there are Mercury dealers. Personally, they should just retilre the Mercury brand (too many cross competing cars in-house) and make Lincoln into a true competitor for Cadillac. Don't kill me for my idea, its JMHO.

The only problem with that idea is rumors are Caddy is loosing money. GM has spent a ton of $$ developing all those new Caddies, some of which are very nice vehicles and superior to what Lincoln is currently offering, but Caddy division may never recover all the R&D costs and turn a profit.

I couldn't agree with this more! What happened to making iconic cars like the Mustang for example, where it is unique. The fact that all cars from a manufacturer have to look the same is rediculous. Wouldn't it be better to make cars that people say oh thats a Ford _____ and know the model and brand because of the design not just oh thats another car with that ugly grill.
Really I think GM is doing it worse than Ford with the one design for all cars. I can barely tell what is in front or behind (mostly behind!) me while driving down the road any more.
