Isuzu, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Land Rover, Volvo, Jaguar, Audi, Saab, VW, Hummer, Acura, Lincoln, Subaru, and many other makes would also be on the chopping block in the American market if "US sales" was the only indication of success or death of a marque. Many brands support dealerships in the US while only moving 200,000 +/-.
The number of dealerships, and the fact that there is little to differentiate a Ford from a Mercury. There-in lies your problem.
Good Bye Mercury! Godspeed.
