Mulally declined to discuss the expected cost for phasing out the Mercury
"We don't have a time frame per se, but we are hoping to help everybody through the rest of this year, that is the general time frame," Mulally said after an appearance at the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce annual meeting.
Company data showed that the broadly improved Ford brand vehicle lineup would meet the needs of Mercury
Mercury has no standalone dealerships in the United States and some 1,436 of its 1,712 dealerships are paired in some way with the Ford blue oval brand that has been expanding. That leaves 276 Mercury-Lincoln dealerships that could become solely Lincoln dealers when the phase-out is completed.
Ford's 2010 and 2011 earnings outlooks are intact and its overall dealer consolidation program is "pretty much on track," Mulally said.
